Gain confidence in drawing through mark making

Each week, explore line, shape and pattern through drawing exercises and doodles. Get creative with line repetition, learn how to look at shapes, and play with collage while letting your brain relax. These small projects are designed to help you formulate a frequent or daily drawing practice.

In each class we will start and finish a short project, learn a few techniques, and start a simple project that you can take home to finish. Also at each class you will receive a "flash card" with an illustration of a project - a reminder of what we worked on in class. The card will also include a link to an online video with a demonstration. Collect the whole deck! Every class will be unique and can stand alone, so sign up for one or all, or join us here and there.
