Arlington Community Education

Perfect for beginners or anyone looking to build a solid drawing foundation, this course focuses on drawing what you see. Learn to observe closely, break down objects into simple forms, and translate them onto paper with greater accuracy and confidence. Each week we’ll introduce a new concept through guided exercises and a final project that encourages creativity. Practice essential techniques like contour drawing, shading, proportion, and composition using real-life objects. All you need is a set of basic drawing supplies and a willingness to look closely.
