DRAWING & SKETCHING

 Overview:
 Focus on understanding your drawing tools, mastering basic shapes, lines, and shading fundamentals. Build control over your pencil and learn how to see simple forms.

Key Learnings:

• Proper pencil grip and control
  
• Drawing clean, confident lines and curves
  
• Recognizing and constructing basic geometric shapes
  
• Understanding light source and simple shading
  
• Contour drawing to improve hand-eye coordination
  
• Quick gesture sketches for fluidity and motion
  

End Result:
 Create a simple composition combining basic shapes and shading that shows an understanding of light, shadow, and line work (e.g., shaded still life with spheres, cubes, and cylinders).

 Overview:
 Train your eye to accurately observe and replicate real-life objects. Learn to measure proportions and introduce perspective for depth and realism.

Key Learnings:

• Accurate observation and sketching from life
  
• Understanding scale and proportion using measurement techniques
  
• Basics of one-point perspective to depict depth
  
• Textural variations using shading techniques
  
• Organic forms like plants and natural patterns
  
• Arranging multiple objects in still life for balanced composition
  

End Result:
 A detailed still life drawing showing correct proportions, perspective, and varied textures (e.g., a bowl of fruit on a table with visible light and shadow).

 Overview:
 Learn the fundamentals of human anatomy and figure drawing. Focus on proportion, movement, and basic muscle structures to draw lifelike poses.

Key Learnings:

• Human body proportions and simplified figure construction
  
• Drawing hands, feet, and facial features accurately
  
• Gesture drawing for capturing movement and posture
  
• Understanding volume and muscle groups
  
• Sketching clothing and fabric folds on figures
  

End Result:
 A full figure sketch that combines gesture, anatomy, and clothing folds, showing dynamic posture and form (e.g., a standing figure with clear body proportions and basic clothing detail).

 Overview:
 Apply all learned skills to create more complex scenes. Understand composition principles and experiment with different drawing media to develop your own style.

Key Learnings:

• Principles of composition: rule of thirds, balance, focal points
  
• Drawing environments and integrating figures within them
  
• Creating scenes from imagination based on storytelling or themes
  
• Adding detail, texture, and depth for realism and impact
  
• Experimenting with various materials like charcoal or ink
  

End Result:
 A completed imaginative drawing or scene that tells a story, using composition, figure drawing, and environmental elements (e.g., a character in a cityscape or nature setting, detailed with shadows and textures).
