As the basis for many art forms, drawing is an essential tool and a powerful means of expression. This course is designed to familiarize students with a variety of drawing materials and techniques. Skills covered in this class will include the rendering of contour, foreshortening, perspective, tone and shading. The class will work from still life setups and projections. Exercises will range from careful and precise to loose and energetic, from realistic to abstracted. Mediums used will include pencil, charcoal and others. Individual projects are encouraged.

Jeffrey Levitch is a Berkeley native who has been making art since the late seventies. He studied with Robert Bechtle at San Francisco State where he received his BA. He then wandered in the desert of Tucson where he earned his MFA from the University of Arizona in 1998. He is represented by Hang Gallery in San Francisco.
