Service Description
7th July to 11th August, 6 weeks Zoom + Padlet (Instructions sent to participants upon sign up) 1.5 hours meet up per week, plus instructions for homework + personal written up feedback If you miss a class we will be able to follow up by sending you a recording of the lesson. In this very portable online class, our tutor Holly Haines will guide teens to draw two to three realised and rendered portraits in pencil over a series of 6 weeks. The group will meet each week to draw from a carefully selected portrait photo of a live model, whereby proportion and methodology will be imparted to them, and an achievable goal of a portrait stage to be attained for each of the sessions. This course will give teens a structure and confidence to approach portraiture in their own time during the course, and also when the course has finished. The course seeks to teach a method, and foundation, upon which their own creativity and style can spring from. Through the approach Holly will teach, teens will be taught about how identifiable likeness is attained, and how we protect 'light shapes'! at all costs! Teens will also be taught about the sensitivity that can be explored in certain edge work, and on where the boundary of form 'turns'. It is a wonderful life skill to attain; the ability to render friends, family, and anyone we choose to people watch in cafes! with ease and conviction. The class will draw one portrait on mid tone / taupe paper heightened with white chalk. Materials: A sketchbook A putty eraser A set of Staedtler Mars Lumograph pencils (turquoise line) 2B, B, HB, H, 2H An exacto knife to sharpen them A sanding pad 1 sheet toned A4 paper 1 white conte pencil Image Credits: 1.

We are a small business and we depend on every booking to ensure that classes can go ahead. If a tutor has to withdraw from teaching the scheduled course for any reason (medical/personal/professional) before the start of a scheduled course, during a scheduled course, if the course is 8 weeks long or scheduled as x3 terms of 8 weeks long each, The Edinburgh Drawing School will find a replacement tutor for the course designed by that tutor for The Edinburgh Drawing School. The course content will be the same as the originally booked course. A student will not be entitled to a refund should the school have no option but to find a replacement tutor. If a tutor leaves and starts work elsewhere, and a student prefers to take classes with them personally at the tutor's new workplace, that is at the discretion of the student and no refund is entitled to them or will be given. If a student is unable to attend a class due to medical/personal/professional reasons, then EDS must be informed immediately so that the tutor can be notified. If you are missing a class because you suspect that you have developed Covid-19, please let us know immediately so that we can alert fellow student and tutors. Non-attendance of classes/workshops does not automatically mean a refund, however EDS will assess the circumstance If a tutor cannot teach a class due to illness, the scheduled class will be covered by another tutor or the class will be postponed and rescheduled for the following week at the same time on the same day of the week. Make up classes are scheduled during the half term week, or in the week following the end of term. The Edinburgh Drawing School runs 8 week terms of scheduled classes, 9 weeks if including the half term and then 10 weeks to include a week at the end of term for any necessary make up classes. Thus, the business always completes it's contractual obligations of 8 scheduled classes to booked students. If a student cannot attend a make up class, no refund is due.
