Drawing Fundamentals - A Monthly Series of Drawing Classes

Session 1: Letting Loose with Lines! with Naomi Hart Johnson

Wednesday March 13th, 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 1: Letting Loose with Lines!

In this first session of this series, join Naomi for a fun and inspiring deep dive into one of the most important building blocks of drawing: the humble line!

All materials will be provided, but participants are very welcome to bring along a sketchbook to use in class, and/or your favorite drawing materials. Using a sketchbook is great way to keep your drawing journey organized in one place, and to gather momentum towards creating a consistent drawing practice!

This series is for adults and young people aged 12+.
