Course overview

This course will teach you all you need to know about light and shadow as instructor Kylee Snow guides you through practical demonstrations. Starting with an understanding of how light falls on three dimensional surfaces, learn how to translate that to a two dimensional page. Explore how to identify a clear sense of the light source and how to follow the angles of light. Starting with a basic value structure of light and dark, gradually develop shifts in value gradations to increase dimension. And finally, see the forms come to life as precise shadow shapes lead to cohesive forms that have both volume and detail.
