Diane Elliott -
Qualified Instructor for 'Drawing From The Right Side Of The Brain'
I had founded a school in
Los Angeles (British American School) and was eager to find an excellent
drawing class for the students. I had read about the success of the Betty
Edwards drawing course and decided to try the course before introducing it
to the school.
I completed the course at OTIS
College of Art and Design in Los Angeles, and studied under Linda Jo
Russel, a member of the original group who developed the program with
Betty Edwards.
The drawing course is a
step-by-step process specifically designed for individuals who have
never drawn before. The fundamental premise is that anybody can learn
to draw really well if provided with the right guidance.
Throughout the process,
students develop their perceptual skills through exercised focusing on
contour, line, positive/negative, space, sighting and light/shadow
relationships.
I have delivered the course
to older children and adults over the past 3 years. Without exception,
everyone who has completed the course enjoys it and feels their drawing
skills have really improved.
