Drawing Workshop
Peter P. Dama BFA, MFA
This class is designed for the beginner/novice/intermediate/
advanced student over the age of 18.
This class is designed to give a beginning student all the integral techniques they need to draw confidently. Learn how to sketch competently in a positive, encouraging environment that will give you the skills you’ve always wanted to bring your work to the next level. The class is designed to introduce all the basic aspects of successful drawing—rendering simple shapes, understanding light and shadow, creating volume and measuring proportion, sophisticated shading techniques —building on each step exponentially while introducing the figure, still-life, and landscape motifs. Exercises that stress constraining value and tonal control will further refine the student’s basic knowledge until they can
confidently produce solid imagery, enabling them to concentrate more on the fluid expression of their marks on
paper whether it be drawing from life, still-life, landscape, or their own imaginations. This class encourages individuality of expression through an exact and complete analysis of the basic elements of drawing: Gesture, proportion, light and shade, anatomy, perspective, mass, planes, and design. This class is for beginning, intermediate, and advanced students. Along with lecture demonstrations the instructor works with students individually.
