About Drawing Lessons…

Drawing is the foundation of all visual arts practices.

In our time together, I will help you understand exactly what drawing means. We will discuss different theories of drawing and pay close attention to mark-making and the way that line functions as a discursive language. Drawing lessons are ideal for a more technically-minded individual who likes to know how things work, and for those who aspire to make representational art in any medium.

If that sounds like you, let’s get to the heart of matters and start making some marks!

We will cover things like: 

-Drawing with graphite, charcoal, and ink

-Fundamentals of drawing like line, form, value, and perspective

-Structural and gestural drawing from life

-Theories and traditions of drawing

-Drawing as a foundation for interdisciplinary practice AND drawing as an end in itself

Prerequisites: 

-Absolutely no previous experience required! Drawing is a great place to start if you are completely new to visual art. 

What do you need to bring: 

-I will provide materials for our first lesson, and we will discuss what materials you will need to purchase moving forward. This will vary according to each student’s goals and interests. If you have any experience doodling or drawing, you may want to bring a favorite pen or pencil to start with. 

What is included: 

-Materials for our first lesson together. This includes paper, a surface for drawing, and a drawing implement like pencil, charcoal, or ink.

-Custom materials list tailored to your interests. 

-Structured, sequential lessons to help you understand the fundamentals and applications of drawing

-One-on-one instruction in my LIC studio space

-Focused discussion and critiques to help you discover your individual voice as an artist
