Since drawing has not been widely taught in the U.S. since the 1800's most adults today have never received any drawing instruction whatsoever. As a result, many adults feel they've missed out on something, and they want a second chance. The good news is, it's never too late. Even though you may feel yourself to be a complete beginner, your life- experiences and observations have helped you develop visual skills and creative instincts that children cannot yet have. To a child, who is a true beginner, everything is new. Adults however, have far more sophisticated mental processes and are typically capable of working at the Intermediate level. That may sound intimidating, but if you can write your name in script, color inside the lines and predict what color wiil be produced when you mix red and blue together, you're no beginner!
Basic Drawing for Adults will focus primarily on core drawing skills. We will cover the use of line (edges), tone (light and shadow), spaces (negative and positive), relationships (perspective, proportion, etc.) and color.
