Keys to Drawing
The art of drawing is a performance of coordination between the hand, the eye, and the mind.
Keys to Drawing will help you gain the drawing skills you need to be able to draw what you see on paper by translating the three-dimensional world around you into a two-dimensional drawing.
The class will teach you to look at the world the way artists see it in terms of shapes, lines, colours, and the relationships between them and will help you develop your own interpretation of what is around you.
