Creativity by Drawing what You See
Instructor:

is designed for intermediate students,

more clearly see things as we optically
perceive them. We'll use pencil, charcoal,
and ink to look closely at and draw from,
among other things, still-life, life,
and landscape outside the Sharon Building.
We'll also study some drawing techniques
that aid in construction, such as the
elliptical system. A nominal fee will
be collected from each student to hire
a model for the last session.
