Want to learn how to make objects in your drawings more 3-D and jump off the page? It is all about value – learning how to emphasize the contrast between light and dark. Students will work with a variety of shaped bones as they’re drawing subjects under a direct light source. The focused lighting will dramatically define the bones, and the students will learn tips and tricks on how to confidently shade with graphite to bring them to life. The class will even try using the
flashlight feature on cell phones to exaggerate the shadow vs light experiment.
Class minimum: 4
Class maximum: 12
