Drawing Class Gems

An important element of any type of art making is good design and drawing skills. Once a week we have a drawing and design class to help improve these skills, while experimenting with different materials and techniques. This week the students made self-portraits using a subractive drawing technique. The paper was first smudged with charcoal. The image was then revealed by erasing the charcoal to bring out the light areas.

As all the students in the program are all in their first year, the majority of the class had never drawn self-portraits before. It was a fun challenge! The results are as unique as each person who made them. Great work guys!
