Huron Valley Rec and Community Ed

Artists throughout time have captured the beauty of nature in landscapes. These works of art come to life by allowing the viewer to see a three-dimensional space on a two-dimensional plane. This class will teach students how we perceive depth in an image. Each week students in this class will be introduced to a new depth cue, and will be instructed on how to use these cues in a simple landscape drawing. Some of the depth cues we will be exploring include overlap, shading and atmospheric perspective. Students will gain a greater understanding of how depth is created in art. This class will also explain techniques for the use of colored pencils on paper. Proper blending, and layering, will be key learning objectives for the use of this medium. The goal of this class is to empower students by building their confidence in their art making ability. A sketchpad and colored pencil set is included in the fees.
