Bargue Drawing 101: Drawing from the Flat
This class is designed to introduce the student to the fundamentals of drawing. Students work to develop a thorough understanding of shapes, values, and varying edges in nature. A step- by- step method, which utilizes a precise system of measurement will be used to successfully complete the projects.
