Having developed a proven curriculum for students of all ages, Debra Lynn Roeder now offers a published art program—Fundamentals of Drawing: Lessons and Workbook—that leads students step by step through the artistic process to create beautiful pencil drawings.
This material has been successfully used to teach students from four to sixty-eight years of age in multiple settings ranging from homeschool to public school to private tutoring. During more than twenty years of teaching, Debra observed that the process of learning to draw also helps students to develop confidence and skills in perceiving, creating, reflecting and critiquing, motivation, discipline, perseverance, willingness to take risks, cooperation and collaboration, productivity, and craftsmanship. These are valued qualities in the working world and life in general!
Debra celebrates her students' achievements. Several of them have been accepted into Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle, Washington. Others have entered the fields of graphic design, visual merchandising, theater set design, engineering, and various professional and personnel roles.
Starting from the basics, students of Debra's first-year curriculum develop and grow the skills needed to draw realistic still lifes and their own self-portraits. This unique publication contains both self-directed lessons and workbook pages, providing a full year's worth of material suitable for individual or group learning environments. In thirty-two lessons, budding artists proceed through three parts: 1) Drawing Fundamentals, 2) Still Life and Artwork Creation, and 3) Human Subjects and Self-Portrait. From there—using these new ideas, tools, and techniques—the artist's own creative possibilities have no limit!
Happy drawing!
