Sketchbooks offer more than just an opportunity to practice techniques and get down ideas; they provide a way to follow through on your art projects. Using your creative engine to generate imagery first starts with drawing. This class will focus on both… inspiration and drawing. By spotting imaginative opportunities and visualizing them- students will be given drawing instruction and techniques, alternative media tips plus weekly prompts. Also provided will be a variety of collected reference and a review of artists and art movements for you to kickstart your inspired self-expression. Learn drawing techniques and How-to-Begin a drawing. Develop a finished piece, fill your sketchbook and walk away with ideas and the ability to further your creative journey.
