This short course will introduce the beginner to drawing, focusing on media exploration and still-life drawing and object. This is also great for a refresher on observation from a three-dimensional source to a two-dimensional drawing.
Each session will include quick, fun exercises and then a focused, longer drawing. The focus will be on cultivating skill and improving technique as well as exploring the possibilities in terms of materials and making work in a fine art or illustrative style.
