In this weekly, ongoing class learners will have fun working through art and drawing exercises to get them using their sketchbook with more frequency and confidence. Using a sketchbook regularly, as a growing artist, provides a space for experimentation and recording progress. 

This class is great for any student who wants to grow their creativity and skill as an artist. Each week we work in our sketchbooks recording our ideas in a variety of art and drawing topics. The topics for class will include: skill-based drawing (such as drawing a light object in a dark environment), people, animal, food, objects, nature, originality, and open-ended themes (using song lyrics to inspire a drawing). 

The following items are encouraged for students to have on hand. However, each item will not be needed for each class. It will be up to the student's discretion to decide which tools they feel will accomplish the task and scope of the weekly topic.

As an educator, I believe in positively supporting learners, I encourage laughter in the classroom and relating academic material to topics that interest them.
