Our class project is a rather simple one.

I’ve designed and collected drawing exercises for you to break your creative block so I just want you to follow me as I do the exercises and those drawings will be your class project. Cool?

What exercises will we do?

A blind contour: You will draw the prop I will give you on the screen without looking at your page. No peeking!
Continuous contour: Ok, this time you can look at the paper but no lifting the pencil. Not once!
Random monsters: I’ll show you how random strokes on paper might hide cute monsters or maybe even more!
Downside up: Get ready to turn off the left side of your brain. It always gets in the way.
Simple shapes: An exercise designed to show you that every drawing is consists of simple shapes and nothing more.
Cityscape: We will use simple shapes to create a city scape.
Copy me: Copying is not stealing. It’s a way to see through another artist’s eye.
Copy everything: An exercise to show you that your hand knows what to do. We just need to train your eye.

I want you to share any drawing you have done during these exercises. Just take a photo or scan it and share!

Remember: There are no bad drawings!

Except this one. This is the only bad drawing in the world. That’s it!

This is your class project. Can't wait to see them!
