Drawing Fundamentals - A Monthly Series of Drawing Classes

Session 2: Capturing Movement from Still Life with Marijke IJff

Wednesday April 10th, 2024 - 5:30pm-7:30pm

C5 Studios is launching a new series of classes focused entirely around DRAWING! Throughout our monthly Drawing Fundamentals series, we will guide participants through a range of exercises and activities that will explore drawing through various approaches and perspectives, develop your drawing skills and encourage you to investigate different ways that drawing can express our observations, ideas and emotions.

During each class of the series, participants will be guided through valuable short and engaging “warm-up” drawing activities that build confidence and help artists to loosen up and lean in to expressive possibilities of the drawing experience. Each class in the series will focus on a different drawing skill or approach and will provide participants the opportunity to experiment and also time to create a more developed drawing.

We will explore elements of art such as line, shape, form, pattern, texture, tone and color, exploring the effect of using these elements in a variety of ways to create unique works of art. We will look at inspiring examples of how other artists have used different ideas, techniques and materials to make their art and experiment with a wide range of different art-making techniques. Techniques used may include mark-making with pencil, charcoal, pastel, monotype print-making and ink.

This is a series of classes with each class both building on the previous class AND accessible as a stand alone session. 

Session 2: Capturing Movement from Still Life

In this class, we will be continuing the drawing fundamentals series focused entirely around DRAWING!

As a group, we will walk through multiple different exercises and focus on different perspectives while drawing from 3D references. While we often draw from photos, here we will be ditching the cameras and capture the moment ourselves.

It is highly encouraged to bring a small object to sit in from of yourself that you either really like the look of or has some sort of meaning to you.

Join us and leave with the ability to capture the world around you with just a piece of paper and a pencil.

This workshop is for ages 9+.
