This document provides an overview of an introductory drawing class. It discusses the instructor's approach, which focuses on finding the right balance between drills, coaching, watching, and doing. The class will cover drawing basics, techniques like shading and perspective, and a 5-step method for drawing landscapes. Students are encouraged to bring photos to draw from. The next class will review lessons from the first class, provide an exercise for improving drawing skills, include a guided landscape drawing, and time for students to work on their own landscapes.
