About

Come and draw with us! Together, we will playfully explore the possibilities and techniques of drawing. We will ask questions such as: How do we create depth? What is hatching, and how does it work? How do we construct a drawing? The subjects and objects we work with will vary, giving us the opportunity to experiment with different approaches and techniques. This class is open to everyone who is curious about drawing — whether you want to learn how to draw, get back into drawing, or simply try something new.
