Beginning & Intermediate Drawing for Adults Register View Cart

A bunch of arts supplies.

Beginners Class:
This fun, 4-week drawing course will help the beginning artist take their stick figures to a new level.  Foundation principles will be taught so that by the end of this course, students will have the confidence they need to draw what inspires them.  Topics Include:  drawing tools, lines & Form, Values, Composition, Contours, Ellipses and Perspective.

Intermediate Class:
The intermediate class builds on what you learned in the beginners class.  It is designed to take the intermediate student to the next phase in their artistic development. Leave those drawing insecurities outside the studio door through a series of drawing exercises. 

Please have a sketch book, graphite pencil kit, pencil sharpener, ruler and kneaded eraser available to you prior to the start of class.
