The Center For Contemporary Art

Students will explore the wide range of visual possibilities that can be achieved with pencil. Working with the full spectrum from hard, light H pencils to soft, dark B pencils, students will learn how to create convincing three dimensional form within a unified composition.

Throughout the course, they will practice techniques such as foreshortening, smooth value gradation, shading, and cross hatching. The use of graphite dust will be introduced as a way to build atmosphere, deepen value, and expand expressive potential, making the drawing process both engaging and inventive.
