This specialization, Introduction to Drawing, explores the fundamental basics of observational drawing. Across all courses, you will explore a variety of media, including graphite, charcoal, and collage, to accurately measure, compose, and draw subjects ranging from still lifes and interior spaces to portraits. The specialization will begin with line and mark-making, then build toward accurate shape, proportion, and value, and finally explore space and composition. You will build a strong visual language alongside the technical and verbal vocabulary needed to analyze and discuss artwork. Through video lectures, assigned readings, community critique, and practical hands-on assignments, you will develop a confident, expressive drawing practice.
