Course Content
This is a ‘how to’ course, stressing different drawing techniques, useful tools, simplified perspective and ways of seeing a subject.
The course will start with very simple exercises of copying from still life and photography using various exercises to develop the skill of seeing, basic faculty to learn how to draw in a realistic way.
After the third day, as the students will gain confidence in their practice, they will start going around Milan with the teacher to take sketches from street markets and public buildings.
The activity will continue in class where the sketches will become accomplished drawing. A visit to a Gallery is also included in the program to allow students practice copying from the old masters.
Drawings from past and present artists will also be analysed throughout the course and different media will be explored, from the simple pencil and colour pencils, to comtè crayon, china, pen, charcoal, etc.
