Fundamental classes will work with students to teach principles and methods to achieve a realistic drawings and paintings.
Our 2015 schedule will have a new class for artists who want to hone their art skills. Fundamental Drawing and Fundamental Paintings will each meet once per week and will focus on skill development, exercises, and instruction. Fundamental Drawing is a prerequisite to Fundamental Painting.
Although, these are advanced classes, the desire to learn and grow is more important than the current skill level.
Each Fundamental class will operate on a 12-week curriculum. We will repeat the lessons and drills every 12 weeks. (Repetition is a wonderful thing.)
Each class is 60 minutes long; following each class, the studio is open for another 60 minutes for practice and additional feedback. The second hour is completely optional.
