Drawing with Pencil and Charcoal

Students learn about various drawing tools, such as different pencils and charcoals, and how paper surfaces affect their art. They practice hand-eye coordination through line and contour drawing, creating expressive shapes. The class teaches turning basic shapes into 3D forms and explores shading techniques like hatching and blending. Still life setups are used for practising observation, focusing on light and shadow. Students also explore perspective, portraiture, figure drawing, and composition basics. The class encourages developing observational skills by simplifying complex subjects.
