"Sharpen Your Pencil, Let's Draw!" with Roy Paschal

Workshop Description

Let’s have some fun learning to draw better. The foundation for all the representational arts is drawing. In this workshop we will explore various approaches to the forms of drawing. We will begin by focusing on the development of the student’s perceptual skills. We will hone our skills by working on projects that deal with the use of line, value, composition, texture, perspective, proportion and expressive styliz ation. Themes and content in drawing are explored at the end of the workshop, as well as projects that work towards expanding the definition of the drawing activity. A wide variety of media can be used including graphite, charcoal, and pastel are used.
