TEEN DRAWING & PORTFOLIO DEVELOPMENT - AGES 13-19 A progressive drawing class focused on teenage artists of all levels and an excellent choice for high school AP Studio & Portfolio Preparation students who need to develop their work, focus their skills and are looking to experiment in their portfolios. It is highly recommended for junior and senior high school students. Students work in a project-based format to create 3 & 4 dimensional drawings! The basic tenets/principals of drawing and rendering are incorporated within the process & each project moves students further along in their development. Initially we work mostly from photos - theirs or instructor provided. Beginner to intermediate students work with grids to ensure they understand & can create proportional perspective. We will work large (18x24), initially in graphite/charcoal (vine & compressed) to build a good understanding of value, then we move onto color. Classes are progressive, students can join at any time, and each successive session builds upon the last. See www.spruillarts.org for a list of supplies you will need to bring to class.
