Learn technical drawing in an accessible online class.
AUTUMN TERM : PROPORTION USING SHAPE AND VALUE
When we look out at the world, we see a series of values, colours and shapes. However, we are often taught to draw using line rather than value, creating a disconnect between how we see and how we draw.
Beginning on October 14th, we’ll meet every other week to explore drawing using shape and value, creating a drawing practice that relates to how we actually see. Throughout the five weeks you will learn to find proportion using shape instead of line, this technique will encourage you to conceive of the whole image at once, instead of getting distracted by smaller details.
Once we have successfully found our larger proportions through focussing on the light and dark values, we will add mid tone values to create form, and then work toward a focal point.
Week One, 14/10: finding proportion using shape and value instead of using line
Week Two, 28/10: finding proportion using a flat, light value and increasing to full value
Week Three, 11/11: finding proportion using a full value and finding form with mid tone values
Week Four, 25/11: (1/2) finding proportion using a full value and finding form with mid tone values
Week Five, 9/12: (2/2) finding form with mid tone and light values, and creating a focal point
WEDNESDAYS | EVERY OTHER WEEK | ONLINE | 6-8PM
