DRAWING: MARK-MAKING + DESIGN
Mastery of freehand drawing takes practice. Drawing will lead to fluency; a wonderful springboard for future disciplines in the creative field. In addition to learning freehand drawing skills, time will be spent on the formation of concepts as they relate to the design/drawing process – why we draw, what we draw and how we draw, with the power of mark- making, working with different mediums, working in series in six creative sessions.
All levels welcome. October 14 – November 18, 2019

ONLINE CLASS: THE BEAUTY OF COMPOSITION
Composition is not a set of rules we must follow, but an elegant “language” in which to communicate. Composition is my “best friend” that sits beside me through all my work. Rather than restrict freedom, compositional principles can give you more confidence, making for freer, stronger work.
