Students create a three-part drawing series, learning how to transform a realistic drawing into an abstracted composition. Each drawing builds on the last, guiding students from accurate representation to abstraction as they discover their own unique creative vision. Students will sharpen drawing skills while building visual literacy and problem solving abilities.
