FOUNDATION DRAWING
CHRISTOPHER UMINGA
Eight Tuesdays, beginning January 13
6:30pm-9:30pm
In this class students will learn the fundamentals of drawing. You will learn as much about technique as training your eye to look at the world a little differently. Using a variety of black and white drawing materials including pencil, charcoal, and ink, students will learn some very important techniques. Contour line drawing, shading, perspective, and the use of negative space will help the beginners in this class develop their skills. This is a beginner's class; we will start with the basic understanding that anything can be broken down into its simplest form and shape as we work on projects such as the still life and portraits. Continuing students are welcome, and independent projects may be pursued to continue developing your drawing skills. Materials list provided.

THE BIG PICTURE  [workshop]
JOAN LEVY
Saturday-Sunday, February 7-8
10:00am-4:00pm
Many people feel that working large is too scary and too difficult. This class will give you the opportunity to try it with guidance and confidence, stretch out and expand your boundaries, and it will be fun! You will draw with charcoal on large paper (minimum dimension will be 48 inches cut from paper roll), mounted on a large board and easel. Drawing on this scale is a physical workout for the body, and a challenge for the eyes and mind to take command of form and space.
"The big picture" will teach you how to focus on the physical reality of the drawing and improve your perception and skills on smaller works. This class will be limited to 6 people due to the space-so sign up now for this stimulating, vigorous, indoor winter activity! The Guilford Art Center will provide the paper, students will bring large sticks of soft vine charcoal and a "magic rub" eraser.
Tuition $203.00
