shoe still life drawingsHow do you observe what's around you? Drawing begins with learning to see, so we will be observing and experimenting with contour lines.
If you are able to break down what you see into lines and shapes, you can draw it. You will work as a team to set up a still life of your shoes using one shoe from every person at the table. |
A line is a dot that moves..............
