This class is designed for YOU who are sure you cannot draw as well as those who want to improve. Learn how to see, and you will never be bored again. Drawing is everything! These four sessions will introduce concepts that bridge the gap between your logical left brain and creative right brain. These tools are keystones of all the visual arts. Drawing helps you move from “observing,” to “discovering,” to “inventing.” Materials are simple. Pencils, erasers, and a sketchbook. Hopefully, you will always carry a sketchbook after learning these tools. We will explore multiple mediums through examples of fantastic artists. You will leave with the tools to exercise your whole brain, escape from the world’s chaos, and develop your creative ideas. Never be bored again!
