Beginning and Intermediate Students will complete a series of exercises to familiarize them with recognizing the “value” of a given color and the application of color theory. All students will review of principles creating the illusion of form and the application of the media (technique). There will be several “Draw-Along” exercises. With the students approval, the instructor will select the subjects to draw from utilizing photo reference and 3-D objects. Students will be guided through the following principles: • Analyzing which subject has “art Potential” • Selecting the size, shape and texture of the chosen platform • Working from photo reference and or 3-D objects • Matching the students “temperament” to the proper media • Overcoming the challenge of accurately drawing “hand to eye” • Pricing and marketing your art work will be discussed.
