Your Drawing Journey Mapped Out
Follow a carefully designed progression that builds your artistic foundation step by step. Our curriculum takes you from basic line work to confident artistic expression through proven teaching methods.
Learning Modules Breakdown
Each module builds on prior knowledge while introducing fresh concepts. Expect about three weeks per module to practice and absorb new skills.
Foundation Lines & Basic Shapes
We begin with mastering pencil control. You’ll explore how different grips influence line quality and practice creating steady strokes. Basic geometric forms become your building blocks.
- Line Weight Control
- Geometric Construction
- Hand-Eye Coordination
Understanding Light & Shadow
Light makes objects look 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 perceiving relationships between different parts of your subject.
- Comparative Measurement
- Negative Space
- Grid Methods
- Visual Triangulation
How We Track Your Progress
Assessments aren’t about grades — they show where you stand and where you’ll head next. We use several methods to help you visualize growth and target areas for focused practice.
Portfolio Reviews
Every four weeks, we review your recent work together. These discussions help identify evolving patterns in your development and uncover breakthroughs you might have missed.
Practical Skill Tests
Short, targeted exercises that demonstrate specific techniques. Think of them as friendly challenges — can you create smooth gradations? Draw a cube in perspective? These reveal your technical progress to both of us.
Peer Feedback Sessions
Sometimes fellow students notice details instructors miss. These structured group discussions teach you to analyze artwork constructively while gaining fresh perspectives on your own work.
Self-Reflection Projects
You’ll document your artistic journey through written reflections and comparative studies. This metacognitive approach helps you become aware of your own learning process and artistic choices.
