This studio course will provide hands-on instruction on the fundamentals of color theory, as well as an understanding of drawing techniques and concepts, specifically observational drawing. Students will sketch and incorporate soft pastels, learning to blend and add sharp lines to create the illusion of a 3-D effect in their compositions.
During the course, students will also be introduced to the work of Paula Rego, a Portuguese-born artist, who is known for her pastel drawings based on folk tales. Students will be asked to create a drawing that touches on different qualities of Rego’s work; such as her concepts, composition, techniques, and application of the pastel medium.
The class meets once a week. All levels are welcome.
