Portfolio Prep1 - Light, Value & Form 6wk 2hr

Service Description

The perfect class to develop your understanding of the 3 dimensional world and translate it into 2 dimensions on paper. Each week instructor will present a new still life and take students through the various stages of capturing the essence of the scene to create their own dynamic images. Working in black & white media, students will learn how light & shadow are used to create form and enhance the composition. They will also discover how to render a variety of textures to differentiate objects & their surfaces. Students may ask questions & get help from the instructor during these "in class" drawing sessions. Instructor will then assign homework which students will prepare at home for a constructive critique in the classroom the following week. Using these college art class methods will help prepare students for transition to art school later. Your art portfolio presents your finest abilities & artistic point-of-view to colleges or clients. Students preparing for art schools with a "foundation" year must show they can master a variety of mediums & skills including figure drawing & anatomy, 2D & 3D design, light & value, color theory, drawing & painting, photo composition & concept, etc. Students preparing for a technical art college also benefit greatly from these foundation classes. These portfolio prep classes are designed to give students the skills needed to make their portfolios shine. ALL portfolio prep classes are appropriate for beginner through advanced artists.
