DESCRIPTION: Drawing is the most primal expression of self that is known to man. With this activity, people first express their creativity and communicate how they see and understand the world. It is therefore a very sad thing when people grow up, and say that they do not know how to draw. The main purpose of this class is to show people not just HOW to draw, but also to let students know that they CAN draw, and when done properly, drawing is a way to tell stories about themselves. This program is divided into 4 quarters and covers the fundamentals of Drawing (Parts 1 and 2), Storytelling, and Design. Here, we will guide students young and old through the very basics they need to know and be proficient in so they can confidently say that they can indeed draw, and draw well.
