Course Description

Structure

The first half of the class will be focused on learning materials regarding shade, shadow and highlight.The second half on individual endeavours, reviews etc. determined by each student.

For the second half, you may want to have a review of some of your work or portfolio, get help with a project your working on, or ask questions you've encountered working with traditional art materials or digital methods. Generally, shade, shadow and highlight should be the focus of the day, though a particular question might not to our topic.But the class can’t go off on long tangents regarding off-topic subjects.

If you don't have something to work on, I'll have shade and shadow projects you can choose from.

What to Bring

For the first half, no need to bring anything, though you may want to take some notes. For the second half, bring materials you want to work with - digital and/or traditional, though I'll have lots of art materials available too. Bring your laptop if you want to work on digital shade, shadow or highlight.

Committing to the class

With the small number of students and the brief time between now and when the class runs, it won't be possible to accommodate enrolees who want to change to a different date. If you withdraw from a class up till 10 days before it runs, you'll get a refund of 50% of the class's cost.After that there won’t be a refund.

Flexible activities within our core topic

An advantage of a really small class is that people can bring up subjects related to the class topic that they have questions about or are interested in. Or we can modify an activity based on individual interests.

Class duration/cancellation

If there are only 2 students in the class, it will probably end a half-hour early.If only one student is enrolled the class may be cancelled and your money refunded.

If any questions please let me know.Best, Bill
