Drawing

Foundation skills in observation and illusory drawing techniques can be learned or improved upon at any age. Drawing classes at Chemeketa emphasize traditional, classic drawing practices which create the illusion of light, texture, volume, and space on a two dimensional surface. Our students work with graphite, charcoal and other drawing media.

The drawing studio environment supports learning through observation and practice. Equipment includes drawing horses, easels, drawing boards, and an overhead lighting system. The still life collection is bursting with interesting objects to draw such as skulls, plaster casts, household items and wooden boxes. The studio is open Fridays each term for extra work on in-class assignments. The drawing studio is in Building 3, room 121.
