Description
How often have you said, “I can’t draw!” ? In this class, you’ll discover how accessible drawing can be and how to express your thoughts visually. Everyone knows we each perceive our world differently. Indeed, the way an artist thinks is revealed in the way they draw. Through simple exercises like “Connect the Dots” and “What’s in a Doodle?”, as well as in conversations about artistic trends, the styles of well-known artists and a chance to try out different drawing techniques, you will learn to express your individual views. In addition to shared weekly Zoom sessions, you will have an opportunity to get individual feedback on your visual response to each lesson. As anyone who has ever given a crayon to a child knows, the urge to “make a mark” is instinctive. As you explore the world of drawing and what excites you, you will learn new ways to express your unique vision.
