What You’ll Learn:

In the Still-Life Drawing course at Mosart Academy, we focus on the meticulous observation and reproduction of inanimate objects. Here’s an expanded look at what students will learn:

• Arranging and Composing Still-Life Setups:
  • Develop the ability to create visually appealing and balanced compositions.
  • Learn to select objects that offer a variety of shapes, textures, and sizes to enhance interest.
  • Understand the principles of design, such as unity, contrast, and harmony, to arrange objects in a cohesive manner.
• Learning Basic Drawing Techniques (Line, Shading):
  • Master the use of line to define the edges and contours of objects with precision.
  • Explore shading techniques like hatching, cross-hatching, and stippling to suggest form and volume.
  • Practice gradation to show light and shadow effectively, giving your drawings a three-dimensional appearance.
• Understanding Perspective and Proportion:
  • Grasp the rules of linear perspective to draw objects accurately within a space.
  • Study the relationship between objects, ensuring they are in correct proportion to one another.
  • Apply the concepts of foreshortening to depict objects realistically as they recede into the distance.
• Developing Observational Skills:
  • Sharpen your ability to see and record the details of the still-life arrangement.
  • Train your eye to notice subtle differences in light, shadow, and texture.
  • Cultivate patience and attention to detail, which are essential for creating lifelike drawings.

Through this course, students will not only learn the technical skills necessary for still-life drawing but also develop a keen eye for the beauty in everyday objects. By the end of the six weeks, you’ll be able to create detailed and accurate still-life drawings that showcase your improved artistic abilities.
