Fundamentals of Visual Literacy
February 6 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Event Navigation
Learning to draw is like learning a new language. Color, contrast, form, line, shape, texture, and value all play a role in creating a compelling and lifelike image, but they each require special attention and training. In this class we will explore these fundamental elements of design, creating a ‘visual literacy’ that will help you improve your work. We’ll focus on drawing in class, but the same techniques apply to all 2-dimensional medias. All experience levels welcome. Please enter through the 5th Street door.
(Age 14+)
Dates: February 6 & 13 from 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm
