The Fundamentals of Drawing is a series of four 12-week skill-building courses with acclaimed artist and instructor Julie Tyslicky, designed to teach you to draw from the ground level. You’ll be provided a solid foundation in the essential techniques that every artist needs to know, and help you develop much more advanced skills that can help enhance your art vocabulary, painting skills, or coach you in entering juried shows.

Fundamentals of Drawing 1 starts the process at the ground level, teaching how to translate observation to line and form. You’ll learn proportion and composition to gain confidence in your mark-making. This course also teaches technical knowledge such as layering, understanding values, highlights and shadows, and negative space. Weekly assignments and critiques will progressively build technical skill and visual understanding.

This 12-week course will be held from 6-9 pm on Wednesdays, January 7-March 25, in the Idonea Hersee Classroom at Art Reach, 111 E. Broadway in Mount Pleasant.
