Drawing: essential tools
Clown, conte on paper by Bernadine Fox
Bernadine is a natural-born teacher. She has a long history of providing educational and support-based workshops, lectures, drawing classes, and mentorship. Along with lectures on Creativity and Art & Health, she offers the drawing and painting courses.
Drawing Classes at Community Centres in the Lower Mainland.
Drawing is the foundation of all art forms (from painting to digital). Executing a good drawing transforms a flat surface into a 3D work of art. Bernadine helps people learn to see in new ways and then be able to draw that they are seeing. Participants are given various drawing exercises augmented with techniques that will help them examine their subject. They will deconstruct and then reconstruct their subject to see what is true about foreshortening, positive and negative space, and the behavior of light on tone and value among other exercises. By applying Bernadine's techniques, participants will strengthen their hand/eye coordination. This drawing course focuses on training their eyes to see, their brain to interpret, and their hands to create.
Bernadine creates a supportive environment to practice, rediscover, and/or engage their creative drawing ability. An added benefit is that, in partnership with Community Centres, these classes are more cost-effective.
Registration for Drawing: Learning to See classes

This is what people say about Bernadine's class: "Thank you for giving me the courage to continue with my art and to see things in my "mistakes" and to let them work for me. Thank you for opening my life to art, an opening I have always craved and one that I will never again starve for in my life time." Kim " It was perfect for someone like me with no experience and even less confidence as far as drawing is concerned. I learned a lot, in good company, and now enjoy getting my sketch pad out..." Valerie "The class was phenomenal, I enjoyed it tremendously. You helped me look at things with a new perspective and from a new point of view. I did not really know what we were going to take from the course, and it turned out to be a life lesson, really. For that I am more than grateful. Time seemed to be flying and it never felt like we have already been in class for a couple hours. I think most of us had a hard time letting go of the pencil, charcoal or conte at the end of the sessions - I certainly did." Marcella |
