Foundational Drawing            

" I would have those who would begin to learn the art of painting do what I see practiced by teachers of writing. They first teach the signs of the alphabet separately, then how to put the syllables together, and then the whole words. Students of art should follow this method with painting." LEON BATTISTA ALBERTI

Geometric Forms

Foundational Drawing offers the opportunity in which to practice creating the illusion of form.  For example, studying this pure geometric object such as the sphere, allows for the easy discovery of form.  In understanding how light hits a simple object allows us to understand how light works on more complex forms.

Other basic geometric objects that are studied are the cylinder, cone and cube.

Gaining a solid understanding of these geometric objects, creates a foundational base from which to continue with further art studies.
