drawing 101

In April and May 2011 I taught four classes - two each of 101 and 102.
Here are some images of the two 101 classes...(two different days combined here.)

Creative learning space...

Steve's favorite model - the pear

composition basics - something like tic tac toe.

standing to work larger and with freedom of movement...

great work!

wonderfully bold and confident marks and expressive lines in this gesture sketch

finally, the daisy - a more complex form...

Here are some samples of (fast/timed) gesture sketches and longer drawings. We really did draw other objects besides a pear and a daisy. In fact, we drew a LOT of objects in the timed gesture sketches. Wish we had more photos of those.

Really amazing to see the drawings that came out of these two beginning classes!

...beautiful and creative people creating beautiful things...
