Overview
"Seeing Like an Artist" is a 4-week foundational program designed to help you slow down, observe more deeply, and strengthen the connection between eye and hand. Through charcoal studies, dramatic lighting exercises, limited-palette painting, colour mixing, perspective basics, and simple sculptural maquettes, students will explore value, form, colour, and spatial relationships while building core artistic skills across drawing, painting, and three-dimensional thinking.
By the end of this course, you will develop stronger observational skills and greater confidence translating what you see into drawings, paintings, and simple three-dimensional forms
Materials: all materials are included at a value of $25 in the registration cost.
Please note, this is an in-studio program.
