- • You'll use line to describe an edge, a shape, a feeling.
- • You'll turn a flat shape solid with shading.
- • You'll use light and shadow to give something real form.
- • You'll draw from observation, not guesswork.
- • You'll talk about your drawing and the choices you made.
The Support You'll Get
You won't be handed the answer. You'll be shown how to find it.
Your practitioner has spent years making their own work, and their own mistakes. In the studio they work alongside you: asking the right questions, pointing out options you hadn't seen, helping you push through the moment you get stuck. The ideas stay yours. The decisions stay yours. They're there so you're never finding the way through alone.

Celebrate what you created with the people and our community. Every term concludes with a presentation or exhibition of your work: a chance to share your process, your ideas, and what you've made.
