Beyond Stick Figures; You Can Draw!

$72

with Evelyn Nitzberg, SWA

Calendar Next available session starts Jan 7, 2025 at 5:30 pm, runs for 4 weeks

The emphasis during this series will focus on implementing the Element of LINE to create SHAPE and the application of TEXTURE and VALUE to create the illusion of three-dimensional depth on a two-dimensional surface using a range of hardness of graphite and white and black charcoal.

Everyone has an artist in them.  Young children make ART naturally.  Rediscover your creative process.  When discussing art-making with others, so many have said to me, "All I can draw is stick figures."  You CAN draw more than stick figures!  Drawing and making ART is a matter of having encouragement and the opportunity to rediscover YOUR creative potential in a guided, safe, and non-judgemental environment.

There is a $25 materials fee on the first night of class. (New students only)

Materials fee for "Beyond Stick Figures" returning students: $10
