Designed for the “drawing challenged,” this class will help you move past your inhibitions and teach you some basic techniques of drawing. We’ll focus on learning to really see and how to get that down on paper. The emphasis will be on the process and not the result in this nonjudgmental classroom environment.

Move beyond the fundamentals and break out of your comfort zone by exploring observational and abstract concepts with non-traditional drawing methods. Experiment with wet and dry media on paper while challenging form, shape, composition, and special relationships. Demonstrations, critiques, and virtual gallery visits bring your work to a more intriguing level. This class is designed for students that want to continue to refine their skills in the medium and refresh their understanding of concepts. The first half of this class focuses on drawing and moves into wet mediums of the students’ choice. COURSE CODE: MEMD Sec. 01: 8 Mondays, 6-8pm. Begins Sep. 13 | $210 No class Oct. 11
