Your Art Pathway Planned Out
Follow a deliberately crafted progression that builds your artistic base step by step. Our curriculum guides you from simple line work to confident creative expression through proven teaching approaches.
Learning Modules Breakdown
Each module builds on what you've learned before while introducing new concepts. You'll dedicate about three weeks to each module, allowing time for practice and mastery.
Foundation Lines & Basic Shapes
We begin by mastering pencil control. You'll discover how different grips influence line quality and practice producing steady strokes. Simple geometric forms will form your building blocks.
- Managing Line Weight
- Geometric Construction
- Hand-Eye Coordination
Grasping Light and Shadow
Light gives depth to objects on flat paper. You'll explore how light behaves and practice rendering convincing shadows with diverse shading methods.
- Value Scales
- Cast Shadows
- Form Shadows
- Reflected Light
Basics of Perspective
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 Representation
Getting proportions right makes drawings look believable. You'll learn measurement methods and practice perceiving relationships among different parts of your subject.
- Comparative Measurement
- Negative Space
- Grid Methods
- Visual Triangulation
How Your Progress Is Tracked
Assessments aren’t about marks — it's about understanding your current position and your goals. We employ several methods to help you gauge your growth and pinpoint areas for targeted practice.
Portfolio Reviews
Every four weeks we sit down to review your recent work. These discussions help identify patterns in your growth and highlight breakthroughs you may have overlooked.
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.
