Welcome Community Day School Sketchers

I look forward to drawing with Monterey Community Day School. This is the official blog for all students to view their drawing lessons, along with my comments and suggestions.

Check out what students from other schools are doing: Drawing League

Here's how the 8-week course will be set up (2 weeks for each topic):

1. Lines/Shapes: pencil grip, guidelines, outlines, different kinds of lines, combining shapes, overlapping
   
2. Patterns/Textures: repetition, rhythm, surfaces
3. Space: positive/negative space, edges, foreground/background, scale, composition
4. Form: contour lines, light/shadow, perspective

Our first day will be announced soon. I'll post your drawings on a specific day of the following week. You'll see suggestions on what to practice for the next lesson, and ideas for you to explore.

If you would like to try more advanced lessons from this blog ("Start a Lesson" section) along with your weekly class lessons, I'd be happy to coach you through them on this blog. Talk with me about it, and we'll get you started.

Community Day Sketchers, get ready to draw! --Rob
