A 6 week digital art course with----Line is where it all begins--join me in Digital Drawing School.  Join me as we look at the importance of  line and pattern in all that we do! 

Welcome to Drawing School...with a digital twist!  I will use Procreate to work through basic principles of art, you may use any digital drawing program that you are comfortable with.  **This class assumes an understanding of the drawing app chosen by the student. I will not be teaching the apps in this class, rather USING the apps to explore art concepts through the various mediums and methods they provide.**

Line is one of the most basic elements of art that sets the foundation for art making. Teaching students  how to start with simple lines and turn them into shapes and then eventually into advanced compositions is the first step in any art education. A subject that they may have thought to be too difficult to draw, such as a clipper ship, all of a sudden becomes doable. What an exciting experience as your students learn to "see" the world in a whole new way! 

We will explore great artists to see how they utilized line and pattern to enhance their works. 

Previous to class beginning: Slide presentation.

When speaking about line with students it is important to look at how color changes our perceptions and our mood. A simple line can elicit excitement, sadness, tranquility and strength. Throughout the class we will explore what emotional response compositions and lines offer to the viewer of each piece of artwork. 

**Again, this class assumes an understanding of  the chosen digital srawing app! I will not be teaching the apps in this class, rather USING the apps to explore art concepts through the various mediums and methods they provide** If your student needs to learn how to use Procreate, please see my Intro series before enrolling in the "Drawing School" series!****
