Your child can feel more confident in drawing by learning about proportion, using different drawing techniques. In this camp your child will learn about the proportions of the body and the face, in children and adults. We will have times of practice drawing the various features of the face and parts of the body, such as hands. Students will also complete some finished art works of people, as well as a portrait.
