Charting Your Drawing Journey
Follow a thoughtfully structured progression that builds your artistic basics step by step. Our curriculum guides you from simple line work to confident artistic expression using proven teaching methods.
Learning Modules Breakdown
Each module builds on what you’ve learned previously while introducing new concepts. You’ll spend about three weeks on each module, allowing time for practice and skill consolidation.
Foundations: Lines & Basic Shapes
We begin by mastering pencil control. You’ll discover how different grips influence line quality and practice steady strokes. Basic geometric forms will serve as your building blocks.
- Managing Line Weight
- Geometric Constructions
- Hand–Eye Coordination
Grasping Light & Shadow
Light gives objects volume on flat paper. You’ll study how light behaves and practice creating convincing shadows using various shading techniques.
- Value Scales
- Cast Shadows
- Form Shadows
- Reflected Light
Basics of Perspective
Objects appear smaller as they move away from us. This module covers one-point and two-point perspective, helping you draw believable spaces and objects.
- Horizon Lines
- Vanishing Points
- Foreshortening
- Spatial Relationships
Proportional Drawing
Correct proportions help drawings look believable. You’ll learn measurement techniques and practice perceiving relationships between different parts of your subject.
- Comparative Measurement
- Negative Space
- Grid Methods
- Visual Triangulation
How We Monitor Your Progress
Assessments aren’t about grades — they’re about understanding where you stand and where you’re headed. We use multiple methods to help you gauge your development and identify areas for targeted practice.
Portfolio Reviews
Every four weeks we review your latest work together. These discussions help identify patterns in your growth and highlight breakthroughs you might have missed.
Practical Skill Tests
Short, focused exercises that let you demonstrate specific techniques. Think of them as friendly challenges — can you create smooth gradations? Draw a cube in perspective? These help us both see your technical progress.
Peer Feedback Sessions
Sometimes other students notice things instructors miss. These structured group discussions teach you to analyze artwork constructively while gaining fresh perspectives on your own work.
Self-Reflection Projects
You’ll document your artistic journey through written reflections and comparative studies. This metacognitive approach helps you become aware of your own learning process and artistic choices.
