After developing sensitivity through line, this course moves into form, through which structure begins to emerge.
Rather than relying on shading, we explore how form is built through its relationship with line. Starting with simple objects, students learn to see depth, relationships, and structure through observation and the movement of lines.
Through guided exercises and in-class practice, you will strengthen spatial awareness, refine observation, and begin to draw structure as a natural extension of your sight.
Designed for students with basic drawing experience. Recommended for those who have completed The Art of Line: Introduction to Line Drawing or have prior drawing practice. Class can be repeated.
