ART CORE 3: Drawing with Graded Graphite Pencils
Students advance in their understanding of the foundational principles of art while exploring the ideas of Western and Eastern cultures. This Intermediate Level course builds on the drawing skills introduced in the Beginning Level drawing course, Core 1. The elements of art and compositional arrangements studied in art around the world, give your child a broader experience with art concepts. Arranging objects within the picture space and using constructing lines to develop more accurate drawing skills is a focus woven throughout the course. Drawing the human form is addressed as well. 36 lessons and projects included. Take a look inside!
"The videos are professionally made and very well done...videos are all around ten minutes long; enough time to give actionable tips and not so long that you get totally bored watching someone else do art...Drawing and instruction happen in a timely manner. This was a nice feature." - Amy Bradsher, North Carolina
