Also, you will delve into sketching, shading, lighting, and shadowing objects, human faces, and landscapes using charcoal, pastels and mixed mediums. The course begins with an introduction of the course, discusses definitions of art, shares the history of art, and gives the life story of featured artist Vincent Van Gogh.
