Your Drawing Journey Planned Out
Follow a thoughtfully structured progression that builds your artistic base piece by piece. Our program guides you from simple line work to assured artistic expression using proven teaching techniques.
Learning Modules Breakdown
Each module builds on what you already know while introducing new concepts. You'll spend roughly three weeks on each module, allowing time for practice and skill absorption.
Foundational Lines & Simple Shapes
We begin by mastering pencil control. You'll discover how different grips influence line quality and practice steady strokes. Basic geometric forms become your building blocks.
- Line Weight Mastery
- Geometric Construction
- Fine Motor Coordination
Grasping Light and Shadow
Light gives depth to objects on flat paper. You'll study light behavior and practice convincing shadows using different shading methods.
- Value Scales
- Cast Shadows
- Form Shadows
- Reflected Light
Basics of Perspective
Objects appear smaller as they move away from us. This module covers one-point and two-point perspective, helping you draw believable spaces and objects.
- Horizon Lines
- Vanishing Points
- Foreshortening
- Spatial Relationships
Proportional Sketching
Correct proportions make drawings look believable. You'll learn measurement methods and practice recognizing relationships between different parts of your subject.
- Comparative Measurement
- Negative Space
- Grid Techniques
- Visual Triangulation
How We Monitor Your Progress
Assessments aren't about grades—they're about understanding your current position and your goals. We employ multiple methods to help you track progress and identify areas for targeted practice.
Portfolio Reviews
Each month, we review your latest work together. These discussions help identify patterns in your growth and highlight breakthroughs you might have missed.
Practical Skill Tests
Short, focused exercises that let you demonstrate specific techniques. Think of them as friendly challenges – can you create smooth gradations? Draw a cube in perspective? These help us both see your technical progress.
Peer Feedback Sessions
Sometimes other students notice things instructors miss. These structured group discussions teach you to analyze artwork constructively while receiving fresh perspectives on your own work.
Self-Reflection Projects
You'll document your artistic journey through written reflections and comparison studies. This metacognitive approach helps you become aware of your own learning process and artistic choices.
