Introduction to Landscape Drawing

If you love exploring the natural world during the summer months and would like to learn how to express what you see in the landscape through drawing, you may enjoy this class for students of all skill levels. We will make weekly outings into the immediate landscape of the North Seattle Campus and adjacent wetlands and garden areas, becoming familiar with a variety of materials and techniques to record what we observe. We will look at examples of landscape drawing throughout art history for inspiration and contemporary work that explores the potential to abstract from the landscape we perceive. This class involves walking short distances carrying materials, so dress, accordingly, wear comfortable shoes, and bring a backpack or bag.
