Description

This studio course is based on a blend of Freehand Drawing with the Fundamentals of Technical Drawing. The exercises and projects are intended to teach you how to draw with confidence and elegance. The studio course is illustrated with work of real students. You will be able to see and experience these students develop in their drawing skills in real time along with you. This course is the product of years of experience teaching students how to draw accurately, elegantly and with confidence. I teach lecture courses and studios as I wish they would have been taught to me. Much of the graphic material in my lectures is taken or generated first hand directly by me on site. I teach to learn. I teach subjects as I wish they were taught to me. The Mission Statement. Education is a tool for the improvement of successive generations.

I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand. Confucius

This course is designed under the premise that humans should be taught in a way that is modeled after the educational patterns of evolution.

The design, development and application of educational systems based on the educational principles of evolution generates a philosophy and methodology of education in synchrony with the evolutionary education system that is firmly and deeply rooted in each of us.

Education for evolution is an educational system designed to help propel humans forward in the natural course of evolution. The purpose of education for evolution is to enhance and strengthen the natural evolutionary process of humans through the mechanism of education. The means to achieve this objective is the design of a curricula based on the same educational techniques and strategies used by natural evolution, enhanced and guided by the application of conscious educational decisions.

Who this course is for:

This studio course is for anyone from beginner to advanced to learn and practice the fundamentals of drawing.
