Draw Interesting Things: A Weekly Class Inspired by the World Around Us

In this ongoing creative drawing class we will meet weekly to create art inspired by all kinds of things. We will draw cute houses, boats, birds and animals, gardens, flowers, magical creatures, cars, and so much more! We will stretch our imagination, and while drawing together will explore textures, tone/value, composition, color and more!  Using fun prompts, and with students following along with the instructor, I hope we can create many fun and interesting drawings. 

Art making in my classes are always process focused. The students will be able to get the instructor's and their classmates feedback. Sometimes the art will take up more than a single lesson. The learners may need to finish their drawing independently from time to time. During class, I will be making a drawing along with the students, but each of our drawings will come out unique and different, as they should be. 

I always encourage for my students to suggest prompts and ideas for future classes, and will always do my best to incorporate these suggestions into our class. The themes below are subject to change based on the student's suggestions.
