Intermediate - Advanced Level
Welcome to our one time Halloween themed pen and ink drawing class for poetry lovers, where we will dive deeply into the haunted world of Edgar Allan Poe. In this class, we will focus primarily on some poetic literary devices before learning how to draw a realistic raven of our own. 

This is a course that is perfect for beginning artists and specializes using step by step drawing techniques to help us create realistic shadow, space and depth. These step by step demonstrations are meant to help blossoming artists perfect their skills. All artists are welcome to participate in this class, no matter their skill level.  I will personally guide you each step of the way and will be eagerly waiting to answer your questions.  

The first half of class will begin with an ice breaker, we will then study a famous poem and play an interactive game to assess what we have learned. After game time, we will then draw and shade the raven under the guidance of a certified art educator. 

Each student should leave this class with a stronger sense of confidence when drawing.  A variety of all different types of learners are welcome and encouraged to participate.
