Like any building, a sketch needs a good foundation. In this intensive workshop on the streets of downtown Mount Vernon, architectural drawing teachers Frank Ching and Gail Wong will walk you through clear steps covering the complete process of making a sketch on location, from the time you draw the first line until you apply the last touch of color. The workshop will consist of two 3.5-hour sessions on Saturday, April 27, 2013.

The morning session will focus on line drawing as the base of the sketch.  We will start by  considering the  selection of a point of view and establishing a basic structure  for a drawing. The afternoon session will build on the morning’s work and add value and color to capture the quality of light, enhance the sense of spatial depth and accent the focal point of your sketch.

Student Learning Goals:

Students will be introduced to the following concepts:
The Line:
   1. How to select a point of view: Detail, Fragment, Building, Setting
   2. How to compose the sketch: Where to start, how to proceed, what to include
   3. How to create spatial depth in your drawing: Visual cues to create the sense of near and far

  Moving to Color:
   1. Spatial Depth and Value:  Seeing and using tonal values to create depth and capture quality of  light
   2. Strategies to applying color and tone to create focus in your sketch
   3. Limiting your palette of color
