Drawn from Observation

The quickest way to accelerate drawing skills is to learn to draw from observation. This module will teach you the art of looking. Through self paced learning units and tutorial support, the module will cover the topics of perspective, composition, tonal drawing, chiaroscuro, the fixed measurement, negative spaces, mark-making and foreshortening. You will also be encouraged to evaluate your work through self-criticism. Units will be constructed and delivered to help you develop confidence and skills with plenty of time made available for self-reflection and home-study projects. The aim is to give you the skills and practice to start a drawing but not necessarily produce finished works. You will work with biro, pencil, pen, brush, conte and charcoal.
