Level 2: Drawing for Animation
PLEASE NOTE: Product price changes based on your selections below.
The Drawing Course is aimed at introducing the different principles and techniques of drawing as an art form. Level 2 will turn the focus toward the character and design of humans and animals. Taking the tools learned in Level 1, the student will focus on bringing life to the drawing through the concepts of gesture and expression. The Student will also begin creating image sequences, emphasizing structure and how the body moves.
Each week a new topic will be discussed and demonstrated with the student both drawing in class and on their own during the week (1 to 2 hours per week).
IMPORTANT NOTE: All class times are in Pacific Time.
