Charcoal Drawing | Youth Art Studio
Thursdays or Fridays 4-6PM
ART101's charcoal drawing programme offers a solid foundation for all arts practice, especially painting & portraiture. Students are empowered with skills and strategies to truly 'see' as an artist and translate that to paper.
The slow, incremental process of this method requires a measure of maturity, focus and tenacity - it is not recommended for beginners or impatient artists. With this in mind, new students should complete at least a term of our introductory Sketch Club in order to cultivate confidence and patience before progressing to the charcoal program.
With an emphasis on still life and portraiture, students master light, shade and form using a variety of charcoal sticks and pencils. This programme is suitable for young artists who are self driven with the discipline to continue work outside of studio tuition hours. The results obtained by students allow for a deep sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. Experienced students wishing to start with the charcoal program should submit 3-5 drawings for fast-track consideration.
STUDENT MATERIALS: As students' progress is accelerated with continued work between studio sessions, participants will need their own materials for use in the studio and at home. The list below links to Amazon:
Small classes mean a limited number of students per term and preference is given to returning students before places are opened to new enrolments. The term is generally 10 weeks and the fee is $550, payable in full, 4 weeks prior to commencement of the term. As it is a date specific term program, there are no make up sessions for missed classes, irrespective of reason for absence. In the unlikely event that a class is cancelled by the studio (extreme weather or emergency), a make up session will be scheduled before the following term or during the school holidays.
