Drawing

=The Big Question... How do we learn to see and respond like artists?= ===In the beginning of this course we will be practicing a variety of strategies for observing in order to see and draw as artists do. We will try to go beyond the stereotypes so that we can draw what is before our eyes. We will draw with our opposite hand, try blind contours not looking at our paper and we will draw an image by looking at it upside down! We must remember at all times that to really see we do not "name" things, instead we look for lines and shapes and their relationships, pay attention to the negative as well as the positive space, draw slowly and always look mostly at the subject.===

Positive and Negative Drawings:
