About this course

The intent of the course is to persuade any adult that drawing is something that can be learnt as opposed to the common belief that it is an inherent talent. 


The course will look at everyday items and analyse them for the purpose of drawing them as correctly as possible. You will repeatedly draw the same object in each lesson with regular class and individual feedback, encouraging you to see diverse aspects of what your eye perceives and how to convey that to the page. 


You will learn to critically analyse items that you want to draw and be more aware of the rules to draw voluminous objects. 


Resources required:

  • Paper 
  • Biros 


Please note: There will be no session on 29th May 2025.
