rawing is the most direct conduit of visual
expression and intention. A drawing
can be either a work of art in itself or a prelimi-
nary structure to a more ambitious medium -
such as painting, sculpture, ilm, or any other
endeavor.
As an artist and teacher I irmly believe that a
solid tri-partite foundation of craft is essential
to art-making. Drawing, composition and color
form this foundation. Of course, craft is only
one of the components in the practice of art. The other two are
expression and the construct - which is the syntax, or language,
of visual art making.
The primary agenda of the Beginning to Draw DVD workshop is
to train you in the principles of drawing and to suficiently develop
your eye and hand so that you acquire the skill sets to pursue
your own expression and the development of your unique voice
unencumbered by faulty technique and perception.
My name is Michael Britton and I will be your guide to your initial
development as an artist.
