Course Description
​Part I of the Beginner Drawing course is a back to basics introduction to the skills of drawing. We first start with learning about the versatility of the pencil, charcoal and how other drawing tools work. Then we look at shading, line quality, how to measure and get proportions right, recognising angles and shapes and finally we look at how to shade to make your forms three-dimensional  All this can be done through drawing a landscape, still life, portrait and a figure. Most students continue on to Part II which completes the course where these skills are practiced further. We also look at ways to obtain a sense of space and perspective in drawings of landscape and with animals.

In the Beginners course we do have a catch up system if you miss a class. Contact me if you would like to know more. In the case of lockdown online classes will be provided.

TERMS & CONDITIONS​
PLEASE READ
Booking Terms and Conditions
During these times it necessary to have catch up classes. Catch up classes are offered for those attendees who at times have had to miss class and do not wish to miss an important stage in their learning. However, it is not an option to do catch up classes every week or on a regular basis as this is difficult to manage and can have a negative impact on classes. I will do my best when necessary to allow you to fit in with one of the other classes to catch up. i.e if you are attending a morning class, you have the option to catch up by attending the afternoon or evening class the following week.
Catch up classes are only available for the Beginner Drawing classes. 

There are two considerations that need to be taken into consideration for catch up classes. Firstly, the catch up class must be taken within the period that has been paid for (5 or 10 week block) Catch up classes cannot be carried over to the next program or set of classes. Secondly, as class numbers are limited,  a class that can accommodate an extra person will need to be found. Together we will try to find a time that suits but it cannot be guaranteed that the time required will be available. In this case the class will need to be forfeited as classes cannot be refunded due to personal circumstances or health. 

In the case of the teacher having to cancel due to illness, the class will be rescheduled or refunded in full.

CANCELLATIONS
Classes can be cancelled up to 7 days prior to course commencement date incurring a 10% admin fee for cancellation. We have a strictly no cancellation policy within the week prior to the course irrespective of whether you have booked a 5 or 10 week course. In other words if a student wishes to cancel their booking of a 10 week course after the 7 day deadline a reimbursement cannot be issued for part II as this is a discounted package.
If a deposit has been paid to reserve a place on the course this deposit is non-refundable.

In the case of a lockdown or border closures affecting travel if you reside outside the bubble, the course fee will be fully reimbursed if cancelling anytime before the commencement of the course. If lockdown occurs in the middle of the course, an option of online classes will be given or an opportunity to make up classes in another term will also be offered.

Social Distancing Considerations
I have kept the bookings to the class small while we are going through these challenging times. Another consideration besides spacing is dealing with drink and food. I am happy to supply teabags, coffee and milk but I regret that during these times I wont be supplying snack food. Therefore, I recommend bringing your own snacks and your own cups and utensils. This will avoid any unnecessary sharing that could reduce the chances of anyone catching a cold or compromising anyone's health. 

I also politely request that if you are showing any signs of a cold, please let me know by phone and I will look for a time you can make up the class the following week at one of the other classes. ​
