Drawing As a Way of Knowing - Upper Bucks Campus RFNRT 8088 C70
You will learn the basic skills needed to begin drawing from what we see. Through ‘seeing’, we will develop our ability to translate perceptions into works of art. We will focus on the methods and mindset of the artist to approach any subject matter with confidence. You will be invited to develop multiple approaches to making a drawing, and you will be encouraged to discover the unique, individual creative ability within you.
Note: Bring whatever materials you have to class, including a large pad of paper and some pencils. A supply list will be given out the first night.
