Overview

Welcome to this Art Fundamentals class for Beginners!  This class is design for people who are looking to get into art and drawing.  If you've never picked up a pencil before in your life, if you've never drawn a circle or square, then this class is going to guide you through  what you need to do in order to begin your artistic journey. Throughout this lesson you will learn about the basic tools required, we'll talk about posture and how to hold and move our pencil, and then we'll look at some fundamental line, shape, form and shading exercises to get you going. At the end of the lesson there will be an assignment for you to complete.  If you've ever thought about drawing but have never given it a shot then this is the class for you!  Let's get going! :)
