Drawing classes:


Intro to drawing Beginner classes: (These classes are for students 7 and up!)

This class will provide the student with the basic skills of drawing and layout. All intro. Drawing students will learn the basic skills of drawing, sketching, and layout. The student will learn how to make cast shadow grid, black and white gradient chart, and recognize the importance of layout. After all these exercises have been successfully accomplished then the student will move on to one subject still life drawing. The instructor will guide the student in drawing a subject provided by the teacher. When he or she has completed the drawing and layout he or she, will finish out the project by adding skills learned through basic skills exercises.
Note: This is a good class for young beginners who have a talent for drawing and a love for art. However, it is a very good way to spend time with your child and learn something new!



This class is approximately 1 ½ hr long
Cost for this class is $25.00 per class session
Cost for parent & child class is $50.00 per session




Beginner drawing:

No book is required for this class. It is all lecture/hands on!
This is a continuing education class. The basic skills you will have learned in intro to drawing will have prepared you for the beginner’s class. All beginner students must have some knowledge of drawing, perspective, shading, and layout. These are learned in the intro classes .The students in this class will focus on still life drawing and hand picked projects given by the instructor. We will go through the process of light source shading to make 3D images drawings. We will explore the use of other materials for witch to draw with and work with some, if not all of them, in some fashion.
The class will have a grading system and grading will be based on the following:
Accuracy and skill
Following direction
Presentation
Although there are materials here at Classy Chasy’s please………
Have all your materials with you when you come to class. Presentation is every thing- strive for the best possible. Your pride in your work is a reflection of your seriousness
about this class. Please don’t expect to immediately be a master of the process of painting. This is a learning experience enjoy the highs and lows that may come with learning these skills. Talk to me when you don’t get some thing or are confused about directions, the use of a tool, processes or techniques.


Beginner drawing is approximately 2hrs long
Cost for this class is $25.00 per hr.



Intermediate Drawing:

This is a continuing education class also. The students in this class will learn, in addition to the Beginner drawing skills, how to draw with different mediums and master them. The student should have mastered at least 3 of the 4 drawing mediums offered at Classy Chasy’s. In this class we will work with the medium: Black & Color Pin an ink, Color Pencils, Graphite, and Charcoal.
We will work with different tools and found objects to create texture light and add dimension to drawings.

We will be working and focusing on the following:
A drawing based on drawings done form nature or man-made objects.
A traditional still-life
A self-portrait
A non-conventional draining using non-conventional materials. (Emphasis in this work will be done on the imaginative and innovative.)

These techniques will be mastered before moving on to new projects and even on to advanced drawing classes. There will be light class work and might be some take home projects. There is critiquing and grading. Once again, as in the beginner class this will be done as follows:
1. Accuracy and how the student has mastered the skills
2. Following direction
3. Presentation

The prep work has been done in the beginner classes and these students know what I expect form their work in this class. At the conclusion of this class the student will be introduced to out door landscape and architecture drawing.
This class will be as long or as short as you make it. The mastering of a skill is not determined on how fast or slow you pick up on it. We will have opportunities to enter works done in this class, into art shows and also in competitions. (This is with the interest and consent of the art student.) This is a good experience for the student who wants to do art as a profession or would like to expand there culture. When you have been successful in mastering all the projects, skills and techniques then you can move on to advanced drawing class.

Note: if you joined the beginner class you should have the basic tools needed.
