Realistic Drawing
9 yrs+
Around 9 to 10 years old, children start to doubt their drawing skills. They compare their finished drawings to other kids’ work and feel their work isn’t ‘as good as theirs’. Peer recognition and acceptance becomes increasingly important at this age and if they feel they don’t measure up, they can give up drawing and art altogether. (Read: screwed up drawings thrown across the room!) What they don’t see is that they are simply lacking the skills to move to the next level, from cartoon-style drawing to realistic drawing.
Our artKids Introduction to Realistic Drawing 9 yrs+ covers the foundation drawing skills required for children (and adults!) to progress further with their drawing.
Our program covers:
Mark making – pressure, direction, speed, angle
Continuous line drawings
Sketching – seeing simple shapes within objects
Understanding tone
Understanding perspective
Simple compositions – line, shape and tone
Creating textures
Our Foundation Drawing Program is currently offered only during the School Holidays program over three consecutive mornings, with the option to attend a focused Bringing it Together session to practice their skills. Once completed, the children can attend our Saturday or after-school classes with greater understanding of how drawing underpins all art-making processes.
Fees: Please refer to our school holiday program sessions.
