We will meet for 3 weeks and take the 4th week off. Fridays can get busy and I want everyone to enjoy coming to art class. We begin on 9/5. Please let me know if you are interested in this class and the time does not work for you. We try to be flexible. </B></div> <bR> <div> I offer a drawing techniques class. </div> <bR> <div>  The students bring their own drawing supplies and I give them advice on how to use their tools better. During the first 5 - 10 min. of class we work on a subject to quickly get a drawing on paper. This loosens the kids up. Then we move on to the lesson for about 20min. This Fall we will be working on longer drawings to be completed over 3 or 4 class times. Our book is <I>Mastering the Art of Drawing by Ian Sidaway & Sarah Hoggett. </I>You may purchase this at Borders Books in Buford</div> <bR> <div> We have completed three lessons : Venetian Building, Fall leaves, and we continue to work on the short eared owl. We are now working on the Drawing small objects large with charcoal.

We sketch outside when the weather is good. We were sketching a coyote Roger had mounted from here on the farm. Other things we sketched this time: a fox, a fish and we tried to sketch our cows but they just would not cooperate. The kids just love working from something real. It is great for them to have this type of practice. </B></div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="207a67d0.jpg" border=0 width="166" height="125" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><IMG SRC="209a67d0.jpg" border=0 width="166" height="125" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><IMG SRC="20ba67d0.jpg" border=0 width="166" height="125" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> <B>Items needed for drawing class are:</B></div> <div> 9 x 12 spiral drawing pad and a pad of tracing paper</div> <div> erasers white & kneaded</div> <div> soft drawing pencils ( I like the Drawing Ebony ) a nice selection of H & B (Hard and Soft leads)</div> <div> Wal Mart has a small drawing kit for $3.59 and Hobby Lobby has one for $5.00  also Michaels has one for $5.00 Nothing too expensive to begin with</div> <div> a folder with pockets for loose drawings</div> <div> a ruler or a small triangle</div> <div> blending stumps - these are paper pencils with a cone shaped end any size will do we will be learning how to use this tool.</div> <div> <B>Hobby has a neat kit this fall for $7.99 Draw-n-more 54 pieces of drawing supplies in a plastic bin.

I will introduce shading and 3 dimensional techniques. We will learn how to put shapes together and draw animals, cars, objects and people. Our main objective is to gain confidence in drawing. </div> <bR> <div> We will be working out of <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" ><I><U>Mark Kistler's Draw Squad</U></I></FONT> (you can look through this book on Amazon.com). He is the artist on the Imagination Station. You order this book for your child from Amazon.com. This class is an ongoing drawing class that builds on techniques that we are learning. Attendance is strongly advised to see regular improvement. We are covering topics like:  Shading, perspective, fast sketching, still life subject, facial features and others. Mark Kistler has an interesting way of approaching these subjects that I think the kids will like. I have some technical terms that I go over. And we get busy on the days drawing assignment. Some of the topics we will go over include overlaping, shadows, foreshortening & size just to mention a few.  We finish up by all showing our work and discussing what we like and dislike about our drawings. If time allows I give the students time to draw whatever they enjoy. We have drawn eggs, railroad tracks, pumpkins, constructed a barn and turning cubes into objects.You will find the next sessions listed below:</div> <div> <B>Classes will begin 9/2</B></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Below see some pictures of the kids with their 3-D drawings.
