Elements of Drawing
Pierre Alechinsky, Luxe, Calme et Volupte, 1969, Gift of the Women’s Committee, licensed by Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York/ADAGP, Paris.
Join Carnegie Museum of Art’s artist educators, Lin Qian and Autumn Mitlo, while relaxing in your own home as you learn new drawing skills or build upon your own practice in this 90-minute drawing class inspired by works of art in the collection. Each month, artist educators will lead a discussion about different works of art and corresponding drawing techniques. Explore a range of styles across time and place and become more familiar with the elements and principles of art and design.
Suggested Class Materials:
Students are encouraged to use materials on hand or try something new! Choose a range of drawing implements that can give you different line weights and widths and add a little color. Choices can include pencils, colored pencils, sharpie/markers, crayons, conte, charcoal… Try a range of papers for different effects. Sketchbooks are encouraged.
Elements of Drawing is a meeting-style Zoom so that our artist and guest can connect face-to-face and showcase their art with the audience. You are welcome to keep your camera on or off for this event.
