General Information

Friends Drawing Class 1 for beginner students age 6-8.  Students will learn a step-by-step process of breaking an object or animal into smaller parts using line and shape in order to create an accurate drawing.  Students will be encouraged to create interesting backgrounds and details using real-life examples and pictures. The instructor will develop additional curriculum based on student interest and ability in which students may explore color, texture, value, form, perspective, and/or proportions.  Individual creativity will be encouraged.  Drawing 1 is not a prerequisite to take Drawing 2.
