Students will have a chance to work with numerous
papers, pastels and equipment. Class will include studies

Important Things to Note:
•We will go over color theory and mix colors from the
primaries while learning to address highlights
and shadows.
•Projects within the course will focus on pastel painting
from photograghs.
•It is beneficial to build a strong foundation in an observational
practice in order to understand composition
and design, negative space, color
changes from cool to warm, and using contrast
and layers to build a believable 3-dimensional
space on the paper.
