Drawing for Beginners
Chandler’s Ford Library
Friday 14th, 21st, 28th March, 4th April 2025
10.00am to 1.00pm
An introduction to drawing.
Learning Goals:
- Draw at least five different types of line
- Identify the difference between geometric, freeform and organic shapes
- Identify the difference between a regular and an irregular pattern
- Apply shading to a shape to create the illusion of 3d form
- Describe how drawing has a positive impact on your wellbeing
About the course: This course breaks down the process of drawing starting with the individual elements of art, line shape, value, colour, space, texture, form. There will be step by step demonstrations and practical activities to get you started with drawing, covering, mark making, shading, types of line and pattern plus much more. Drawing is a skill you can learn by using particular techniques and with lots of practice.
Who is this course for: Beginners looking to develop their creative skills and improve their wellbeing.
Previous knowledge or experience: None required except lots of enthusiasm, willingness to learn and a desire to have fun.
How will I learn: This is a relaxing and friendly course with step-by-step demonstrations. You will be gently guided through different drawing activities. You will be encouraged to ignore any past thoughts (I can't draw) not to worry about the future (what will it look like) but to concentrate on the moment in time.
How will I be assessed: Through observation, questioning, discussion and peer/self evaluation.
What shall I bring: You will need a variety of drawing materials, some suggestions below:
- An A5 or A4 sketchbook or loose paper
- Pencils HB, 2B, 6B, or similar
- Charcoal
- Putty rubber
- Rubber and pencil sharpener
- Coloured pencils
- Black biro or black felt tip, or black fine line drawing pen or black sharpie pen
