The Foundations of Art I

The Foundations of Art I Class is designed to develop skill in three-dimensional realistic drawing. Using the time proven methods used by Masters of art, students will be guided step-by-step from simple drawings to more complex, culminating in a ‘Masterful” pencil portrait. Students remark their delight in their accomplishment.

In addition, to the drawing, students will have an overview of art contributions beginning with The Roman Age to the contemporary period. Proverbs tell us, “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.” The art of a culture reflect either God’s moral laws or the confusion of autonomous man. The late Dr. Francis A. Schaeffer’s text and presentation will complement Mrs. Gartland as an authoritative guide for the art and historical survey portion.
