Your Art Pathway Mapped
Follow a thoughtfully designed progression that builds your artistic foundation step by step. Our curriculum guides you from simple line work to confident creative expression through proven teaching methods.
Learning Modules Breakdown
Each module builds on earlier knowledge while introducing new concepts. You’ll spend about three weeks on each module, allowing time for practice and skill absorption.
Foundations: Lines & Basic Shapes
We begin with mastering pencil control. You’ll discover how different grips affect line quality and practice steady strokes. Basic geometric forms become your building blocks.
- Line Weight Mastery
- Geometric Construction
- Hand-Eye Coordination
Grasping Light and Shadow
Light creates a sense of three-dimensional form on flat paper. You’ll explore how light behaves and practice convincing shadows using various shading techniques.
- Value Scales
- Cast Shadows
- Form Shadows
- Reflected Light
Basics of Perspective
Objects appear smaller the farther they are. This module covers one-point and two-point perspective, helping you render believable spaces and forms.
- Horizon Lines
- Vanishing Points
- Foreshortening
- Spatial Relationships
Proportional Drawing
Getting proportions right makes drawings look credible. You’ll learn measurement techniques and practice perceiving relationships between different parts of your subject.
- Comparative Measurement
- Negative Space
- Grid Methods
- Visual Triangulation
How We Track Your Progress
Assessments focus on understanding your current level and where you’re headed. We use multiple methods to help you see progress and pinpoint areas for targeted practice.
Portfolio Reviews
Every month, we sit down together to review your recent work. These conversations help identify patterns in your development and highlight breakthrough moments you might have missed.
Practical Skill Tests
Short, focused exercises that allow you to demonstrate specific techniques. Think of them as friendly challenges—can you create smooth gradations? Draw a cube in perspective? These help us both see your technical progress.
Peer Feedback Sessions
Sometimes other students notice things instructors miss. These structured group discussions teach you to analyze artwork constructively while gaining fresh perspectives on your own work.
Self-Reflection Projects
You’ll document your artistic journey through written reflections and comparative studies. This metacognitive approach helps you become aware of your own learning process and artistic choices.
