Kerra Taylor believes in rigorously teaching drawing fundamentals and the principles of design. She provides demonstrations, handouts, and homework to help students practice these concepts on their own. Each week, students participate in critiques where they receive feedback from the instructor and peers to help their artistic growth. The teacher uses varied still-life arrangements suited to different skill levels and engages students on how art relates to their fields to hold their interest. Regardless of skill, students must learn representational drawing from observation before advancing to more conceptual ideas to ensure success in art.
