DRAWING, PAINTING & PRINTMAKING
Nicholas Mancini | Artist, namancini.com
This class will build on the principles of Beginner Drawing. In this class, we will use different media (including charcoal, collage and colored pencil) to study light, form and color, both in the still life and the human figure. Prior observational drawing experience is highly recommended.

A carefully planned series of exercises will introduce the beginner to the following elements of observational drawing: perspective, composition, light values, and contour. Students will begin by learning how to accurately measure and observe objects and the world around us. Classes will include instructor demonstrations and exercises in contour drawing, tonal drawing, and gesture drawing with plenty of time to practice in class and receive feedback from the instructor.

METAMORPHIC DRAWING YoAhn Han | Assistant Professor at MassArt, yoahnhan.com
Move beyond the fundamentals and break out of your comfort zone by exploring observational and abstract concepts with non-traditional drawing methods. Experiment with wet and dry media on paper while challenging form, shape, composition, and special relationships. Demonstrations, critiques, and virtual gallery visits bring your work to a more intriguing level. This class is designed for students that want to continue to refine their skills in the medium and refresh their understanding of concepts. The first half of this class focuses on drawing and moves into wet mediums of the students’ choice. COURSE CODE: MEMD Sec. 01: 8 Mondays, 6-8pm. Begins Jun. 21 | $210 No class Jul. 5
