LIVE VIRTUAL DRAWING in the Byzantine System<\/b><\/h3>

The academic year runs from SEPTEMBER until the end of MAY \u2013 Students are welcome to join at any time into either Beginning (Essential) or Advanced.<\/span><\/i><\/p>

FALL 2023 WILL BEGIN THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 7th<\/i><\/b><\/h5>
Learning good skills in drawing are the essential foundation from which to create beautiful icons. Within all of the courses offered at various skill levels, Professor Kordis explains and reinforces drawing in the Byzantine System, with the goal of helping students to draw independently with confidence and creativity in order to create original icons (not just copies of old icons). Together, detailed explorations of the qualities and culture of lines, analysis of old icons, and various drawing exercises are shared. Students bring their questions and steady practice is the key to growth.<\/span><\/i><\/h6>
The classes are hosted through Zoom to best allow student interaction with the Professor and close-up live video of the process and techniques as he draws on his I-Pad.\u00a0 After each lesson, a link will be made available with that week\u2019s recorded lesson along with valuable screenshots to assist in your progress at home.<\/span><\/h6>

Each session is independent and you can follow along in the next session even if you miss the previous one. While live attendance is not mandatory, it is encouraged to maximize understanding with ease of questions and answers, and to help with general creative growth. It is also an additional benefit to the virtual live classes to share real time with one another, and do work independently in between the sessions.<\/span><\/p>

As a valuable course benefit, students may send a photo via email to the Professor for basic corrections and feedback week to week if they wish.<\/span><\/p>

NOTE<\/span>: <\/span>GEORGE KORDIS SUGGESTS pairing either drawing class along with his OPEN STUDIO painting class as a good complement to form well-rounded learning and optimal artistic growth.<\/span><\/i><\/p>

Dr. Kordis\u2019s popular book <\/span>\u201cIcon as Communion\u201d <\/span><\/i>is a wonderful accompaniment to all of the drawing coursework (although not required). To purchase: https:\/\/holycrossbookstore.com\/products\/icon-as-communion-by-george-kordis<\/span><\/p>
