Using animal skulls as our subject, participants in this class use a range of drawing techniques to represent three-dimensional form on paper. From black shadows to subtly modeled drawings using the red and white chalk techniques of 18th Century France, we will learn shading, mark-making, blending, and two-dimensional composition. Exploring the structure of the skull, in color, is a wonderful way to develop new skills. Trois Crayon methods distinguish this class from previous one with exceptions by instructor possible for the mature younger artist. Homeschoolers welcome 12-up
