Drawing the Huntington
Each session 9 a.m.-noon.
Each session sold separately.
Artist, architectural illustrator and author Richard E. Scott will conduct six classes, drawing the art, architecture, and gardens of the Huntington. These classes are perfect for artists (plein air and studio painters), architects, designers, urban sketchers, students, hobbyists, and beginners. Students will improve drawing skills, develop better visual perception, and enrich their visual experience. Students may choose to enroll in individual classes, or attend all six.
Space is limited.
July 23- How to Draw with Greater Accuracy
The first session begins with simple techniques for drawing any subject with greater accuracy. Students apply the lessons to draw artworks in art galleries.
July 30- Making a Drawing Come to Life--Drawings that Come to Life
Creating the illusion of three-dimensional form in drawing is explored, along with calligraphic lines. Students apply the lessons to draw various parts of the gardens.
August 6- Depth and Space The Fundamentals of Perspective--Depth and Space
Creating the illusion of three-dimensional space on a two-dimensional sheet of paper is demonstrated and discussed. Students apply the lessons to draw the architecture of the Huntington.
August 13- Intermediate Perspective
Subjects of greater complexity (two-point perspective) are explored, demonstrated, and drawn. Students apply the lessons to draw the architecture of the Huntington.
August 20- Advanced Perspective
Subjects of even greater complexity (three-point perspective and curved shapes) are explored, demonstrated, and drawn. Students apply the lessons to draw the architecture of the Huntington.
August 27- Finding Your Own Voice
In the final session, students learn how to interact with a subject and uncover those elements that have greatest personal meaning. Students apply this thinking process to draw the gardens and architecture of the Huntington.
