Objective: Learn to truly see through observation.
This classic drawing exercise helps students train their eyes and hands to work together. Using a Coca-Cola bottle as the subject, students create both a practice and a final drawing, focusing on proportion, contour, and detail. The project teaches patience, visual accuracy, and confidence in realistic rendering.
Goal: Develop sharper perception and understanding of shape, light, and transparency.
Objective: Discover balance, proportion, and composition.
Students select a simple arrangement of everyday objects—a cup, fruit, or vase—and learn to draw what they see, not what they think they see. Through careful shading and observation, students explore how light creates form and depth.
Goal: Build technical drawing skills and an appreciation for quiet, focused observation.
Objective: Explore illusion, rhythm, and contrast.
Students learn how to create visual effects that trick the eye using patterns, repetition, and geometric shapes. This exciting project blends art and math principles—great for creative thinkers who love precision.
Goal: Understand how line, contrast, and symmetry can create motion and depth on a flat surface.
Objective: Express creativity through character design and storytelling.
Students learn the basics of cartoon illustration—expressions, exaggeration, and action. They create original characters and short comic panels, developing their personal style along the way.
Goal: Strengthen imagination, humor, and visual communication while learning proportion and gesture.
