Drawing for Beginners

with Clair F. Maier

Four Thursday Afternoons | May 2, 9, 16, & 23 | 1-4 PM

Most people who say "I'm not creative" have never learned to draw! Drawing is the fundamental building block for nearly ALL other art forms. It's how we communicate ideas, plan, design, and express ourselves visually. It's also a skill to be learned!

Clair will start with the very basics -- no experience needed! She'll teach you how to use your materials (different types of pencils, papers, erasers, etc.), create a composition, and work from both photos and still-life set-ups while applying lessons in color value, shading, and perspective. All materials provided! Just bring yourself and come ready to learn a new skill.

Ages 14 and up. Younger than 14? Check out Clair's kids' drawing course coming up this July!
