Your Art Journey, Charted
Follow a thoughtfully planned progression that develops your artistic foundation step by step. Our curriculum guides you from basic line work to confident artistic expression through proven teaching approaches.
Learning Modules Breakdown
Each module builds on earlier knowledge while introducing new concepts. You'll spend roughly three weeks on each module, allowing time for practice and skill absorption.
Foundational Lines & Basic Shapes
We begin with mastering pencil control. You'll discover how different grips influence line quality and practice producing steady strokes. Simple geometric forms become your building blocks.
- Line Weight Mastery
- Geometric Construction
- Hand-Eye Coordination
Grasping Light & Shadow
Light gives volume to objects on flat paper. You'll study how light behaves and practice believable shadows with various shading techniques.
- Value Scales
- Cast Shadows
- Form Shadows
- Reflected Light
Perspective Fundamentals
Objects appear smaller as they move away from us. This module covers one-point and two-point perspective, helping you draw believable spaces and forms.
- Horizon Lines
- Vanishing Points
- Foreshortening
- Spatial Relationships
Proportional Drawing
Getting proportions right makes drawings look believable. You'll learn measurement techniques and practice seeing 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 are and where you're heading. We use multiple methods to help you see your development and identify areas for focused practice.
Portfolio Reviews
Every four weeks, we review your recent work together. These discussions help identify patterns in your development 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 receiving fresh perspectives on your own work.
Self-Reflection Projects
You'll document your artistic journey through written reflections and comparison studies. This metacognitive approach helps you become aware of your own learning process and artistic choices.
