What constitutes a Classical art education in a Classical Christian school? the skill of representational drawing is just the beginning. The well-educated student is exposed to and is able to manipulate artists’ materials to meet his or her needs. The student studies the work of the old masters and, in their tradition, copies their work. By studying the masters’ biographies, the student understands the artists’ place in history. This workshop will offer practical ideas to introduce and train students to draw, to see, and to appreciate the visual beauty around them.
