Join local artist Michael Sharp for Drawing for Beginners. Michael will start by teaching the basic fundamentals in composition, value and form. He will also teach students how to create the illusion of depth, perspective, and texture in their work. Students will begin drawing from live objects, utilizing these foundational principles and techniques to develop skills for interpreting and translating what they see onto paper.

*All students to bring 2 -3 personal objects to draw from (ideally objects that strongly interest you or hold significant meaning for you). Working from live objects is fundamental in teaching students how the eyes naturally interpret form and depth, etc.

Michael Sharp has a BFA in drawing and painting and worked as a teaching assistant while earning his degree.

Before relocating to Birmingham just a few years ago, he spent over 20 years on the West Coast and taught several private art classes in the Los Angeles area.
