About The Courses
Drawing courses focus on building fundamental drawing skills as well as creatively self-expression. The course is developed into three levels.
Level 2: This course is aimed at further developing the skills students learned in Level 1. Students not only hone their skills drawing with line and value, but also explore local value concepts, perspectives, and ideas for creating the illusion of depth.
Curriculum Example
Concepts: Form and Composition
Skills: Observational drawing skills, shading and blending with pastel, graphite, charcoal, and color pencil
