This class will enable the student to be more satisfied with his or her artwork by slowing down and really looking before putting pen to paper. At least one artist will be studied, and one of his works copied. Understanding basic shapes, contour drawing, volume drawing, blending, and proportions will be accomplished through a variety of pleasing subject matter. All students initially will draw along with the instructor. Students should also be ready to do some homework assignments. Youngsters may want to enroll in this class more than once. Although the skills to be learned are the same, the projects change from year to year, allowing the young artist to plot his progress. Designed for the full year, students are expected to register for both fall and spring. No new students will be accepted in the spring. Mrs. Waggener has been teaching drawing to home schoolers (including her own four children) for 20 years.
