Your Artistic Path, Clearly Planned
Follow a thoughtfully structured progression that gradually establishes your artistic base. Our program guides you from simple line work to confident creative expression using proven instructional approaches.
Learning Modules Breakdown
Each module builds on prior knowledge while introducing new concepts. You'll spend roughly three weeks on each module, allowing time for practice and skill absorption.
Fundamentals of Lines & Basic Shapes
We begin by mastering pencil control. You'll explore how different grips influence line quality and practice steady strokes. Basic geometric forms will serve as your building blocks.
- Managing Line Weight
- Geometric Construction
- Coordination between Hand and Eye
Grasping Light and Shadow
Light gives flat paper a sense of depth. 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 recede. This module covers one-point and two-point perspective, helping you draw believable spaces and forms.
- Horizon Lines
- Vanishing Points
- Foreshortening
- Spatial Relationships
Proportional Drawing
Correct proportions make 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 Your Progress Is Tracked
Assessment isn’t about grades – it’s about understanding where you stand and where you’re headed. We use multiple methods to help you see your development and identify areas for focused practice.
Portfolio Evaluations
Every four weeks, we sit down together and review your recent work. These discussions help identify patterns in your growth and highlight moments of breakthrough you might have missed.
Hands-On Skill Assessments
Short, targeted exercises that let you demonstrate specific techniques. Think of them as friendly challenges – can you produce smooth gradations? Draw a cube in perspective? These help us both see your technical progress.
Peer Review Sessions
Sometimes other students notice things instructors miss. These structured group discussions teach you to analyze artwork constructively while gaining fresh perspectives on your own work.
Self-Assessment 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.
