Students will learn to draw the human face, first in black and white (charcoal, pencil), then in color (pastels) from a photo. Ms. Shih's method combines techniques from Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain (Betty Edwards) and those from her own training and experience. Objective is to learn to see value, shape, proportion, placement and then hue; ultimate goal is for students to capture an excellent likeness of the subject. Bring to first class: sketch pad (12"x16"), #2 pencil, soft vine charcoal about 3/16" thick (or a variety of thicknesses), kneaded eraser, white pencil, two transparent rulers, scissors and smudge tools. All levels welcome.
