Students will be drawing with pencil and pen, then painting with oil and acrylic. They will be learning and practicing to draw the first few weeks in this class. The goal will be to learn how to create perspective, shading, proper dimensions and more. Once students have enough understanding and comfort over their abilities with drawing, we will start to paint with oils. Oil painting takes more preparation, clean-up and drying time than acrylic. We start with oil before acrylic so that students will have enough time to work on their paintings rather than needed to leave them behind after the semester is over. I limit the amount of students to 6 per semester mainly due to prep and clean-up needs, but also so that I am able to see how each student is understanding and working with their art pieces. Because each student is different, how I present the material may differ each semester, but what is covered during the course does not change from semester to semester. Students are welcome to take the course as many times as they like and pick up something new each different time.
