Introduction to Graphite and Charcoal

Teen (Gr 7-12) | Registration opens 11/5/2025 10:00 AM

This course is aimed at beginners, but students of all experience levels are welcome! This class will teach you the ins and outs of working with graphite pencils as well as charcoal. We will practice a variety of shading and blending techniques, drawing things from still lifes to portraits. At the end of the course, students will take home several completed graphite and charcoal drawings.
