This drawing class invites students to look closely, and discover the joy of drawing without the pressure of creating a “perfect” picture. In each class, students will begin with a gesture drawing to shake off creative apprehension and get comfortable with putting pencil to paper. Through playful exercises such as blind contour, continuous-line drawing, negative space, drawing from observation, texture, and pointillism, students will learn to truly see the world around them while developing confidence in their own creative voice. Each class offers a chance to put technology aside, engage their hands and minds, experiment with different ways of drawing, and discover that art is less about getting it right and more about observing, exploring, and having fun.
