Policies and General Guidelines
Pattern of the class
For the initial few classes students will start by drawing some basic shapes and strokes with pencil on paper as conditioning. They will then learn progressively more complex designs which will culminate into creative projects to be completed in ink or color. The projects include the techniques in the precious practice lessons and will progressively get more detailed and challenging, leading to the study of human proportions and various ancient geometry designs and compositions.
Duration of the class
Typical duration of a class is 60 minutes. Incase the class overshoots, please know that all the additional time per term goes to the students free of cost as quality and creativity are our prime virtues. Please plan for other activities after classes accordingly or let us know in advance if a student needs to leave sooner.
