An Invitation to Draw: Drawing for the Absolute Beginner
Time: Tuesdays 1:00-3:00, March 20th, 27th, April 3rd and April 10th. Class Fee: $130.00 (includes materials} Class description. Drawing is a journey not a destination; a process of personal discovery through attention and close observation. It is a skill that can be learned by anyone, as long as there is curiosity and the willingness to learn "to see" in a new way. My approach to teaching encourages spontaneity and builds confidence in our ability to draw naturally together in a supportive, non-competitive environment, we will practice exercises that encourage learning how "to see" and to record that observation, regaining the attitude of exploration and discovery we had as children. For more information or registration, call 207-975-5506.
