Teaching Experience in detail in Sketching Classes

Freehand sketching is the foundation of confident drawing. It strengthens hand-eye coordination and encourages intuitive mark-making. • Introductory Techniques: Learn warm-up drills, hatching, and observational methods to loosen your linework. • Shape Recognition: Practice identifying and sketching basic forms without relying on tools. • Control & Precision: Develop steady lines through dot-line exercises and proportional shape division.

Gesture Drawing Gesture drawing captures movement, rhythm, and the emotional essence of the figure. • Dynamic Posing: Explore simplified line structures to express motion and weight. • Timed Sketching: Build spontaneity and speed with short-duration drawing exercises. • Structural Flow: Use asymmetry and intuitive proportions to enhance fluidity and character. 📐 Proportional Drawing Mastering proportion allows for accurate representation of figures, objects, and spatial relationships. • Measuring Techniques: Apply sighting, plumb lines, and comparative angles to refine accuracy. • Internal Relationships: Understand how shapes relate within a composition using geometric guides. • Human Proportions: Study adult and child anatomy through simplified ratios and visual landmarks. 🏙️ Perspective Drawing Perspective introduces depth and realism, essential for spatial storytelling. • One-Point Perspective: Learn to construct scenes using a single vanishing point and horizon line. • Two-Point Perspective: Rotate objects and build complex forms with dual vanishing points. • Environmental Drawing: Apply perspective to interiors, streetscapes, and architectural elements. • Atmospheric Depth: Explore how scale, overlap, and value create spatial illusion.
