This class provides a dedicated time and environment for individuals seeking a regular opportunity to engage in creative pursuits. Regardless of the chosen medium—oil paints, acrylics, pastels, drawing, or collage—Guests can utilize this course as either a supportive space for creation or as a platform to challenge their artistic boundaries. 

Unlock your creativity by discovering the enjoyment of crayon drawing. You might enjoy drawing either abstract or representational subject matter, or something entirely from your imagination. The goal is to have fun during the process and to be satisfied with the completed drawing.

You are welcome to bring an art book or anything else from home that inspires your creativity. You may also explore ideas from various art magazines that will be available in class. Boxes of crayons, pencils, drawing paper will be provided, as well as the instructor’s guidance and encouragement in creating one or more unique drawings.

This drawing course is designed to increase your visual awareness and attain methods to help create lines and the effect of three dimensional drawings while having fun.

Guests will have group and individual instruction. Demonstrations and lectures will be given to educate each Guest. We will work from photographs of your choice, as well as occasional still lifes. Many class projects are geared for beginners and intermediate Guests. Advanced and intermediate Guests are welcome to work on their own personal projects to further perfect their skills.
