Mt. Desert Island Adult & Community Education

This is an in-person, classroom-based course at Mount Desert Island High School.

In this drawing class, we'll cover the basics of drawing leading to more intricate techniques as we progress through the class. We'll learn how to sketch before we learn how to draw. We'll cover the basic skills of drawing including line and form, shading and perspective, figure drawing (with an occasional model), portrait drawing, still life drawing, 2 pt. and 3 pt, perspective and tonal value drawings. You will also draw in your sketchbook as homework each week (the best kind of homework!) and we'll work with different drawing media like pen and ink,  pastels and charcoal.

PLEASE NOTE:  You will need:

1.  Drawing pad no smaller than 9 X 12

2.  Drawing pencils: HB pencil, 2B pencil, 4B pencil

3.  White and/or kneaded eraser.
