This class is designed for anyone, from beginning level to advanced level, who wishes to systematically learn to draw and paint in their visual art making. Class will focus on the four most important fundamental elements of visual art; Drawing (form principles), Perspective (spatial relation), Design (composition), and Color (color harmony)*

Class will include lecture, demo, in-class projects, homework, and critique.

The class will also cover the techniques of various dry and wet media such as graphite, pen & ink, transparent wash, etc.

The eventual goal of the is class is, by equipping the students with the essential tools of visual art fundamentals, to prepare them to be able to pursue their individual art of visual communication and expression in their own style, medium, and genre.

* Fundamentals of Visual Art 1 will introduce the students up to the study of Limited-Color principles and exercise. Principles and practice of full colors will be covered in the subsequent Fundamentals of Visual Art 2 course in the following month.
