Seeing and being able to reproduce what you can see is the foundation of visual communication, which is why drawing skills underpin most work in art and design. Our drawing course will help practitioners from all disciplines to draw what they can see and what they can imagine. Anyone can learn to draw, but many experienced artists and designers take the course to improve their drawing skills.
- Mark making and tone
- The human figure
- Observation in nature
- Drawing outdoors
- Draw and experiment (choose one of four options related to the preceding assignments)
The course aims to provide a structured introduction to the skills of drawing; introduce a wide range of media and methods; help students see in a selective way and become more aware visually and artistically.
25 projects and five assignments. Students also maintain a learning log.
