Your Drawing Journey, Planned and Ready
Follow a thoughtfully crafted progression that lays down your artistic base step by step. Our curriculum guides you from simple line work to confident artistic expression through proven teaching methods.
Learning Modules Breakdown
Each module builds on earlier knowledge while introducing new ideas. You’ll spend roughly three weeks on every module, allowing time for practice and skill absorption.
Foundational Lines & Basic Shapes
We begin with mastering pencil control. You’ll discover how different grips affect line quality and practice steady, consistent strokes. Simple geometric forms will become your building blocks.
- Line Weight Control
- Geometric Construction
- Hand-Eye Coordination
Understanding Light & Shadow
Light makes objects appear three-dimensional on flat paper. You’ll study how light behaves and practice creating convincing shadows using various shading techniques.
- Value Scales
- Cast Shadows
- Form Shadows
- Reflected Light
Perspective Fundamentals
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 Drawing
Getting proportions right makes drawings look believable. You’ll learn measurement techniques and practice seeing relationships between different parts of your subject.
- Comparative Measurement
- Negative Space
- Grid Methods
- Visual Triangulation
How We Track Your Progress
Assessment isn’t about grades – it’s about understanding your current position and your goals. We use multiple methods to help you see your development and identify areas for targeted practice.
Portfolio Reviews
Every four weeks, we sit down together and review your recent work. These discussions help identify patterns in your growth and highlight moments of progress you might have overlooked.
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.
