Drawing Basics is designed for older kids 10 and up who love to draw and want to learn some new skills! Young artists will learn how to draw from observation and how to translate what we see into drawing. Led by artist Eileen MacArthur, Eileen will guide the class in learning about line, value, and balance in composition. Artists will be experimenting with various wet and dry drawing material including graphite, charcoal, ink and watercolour.
Each class, we will be looking at the work of various contemporary and historical artists for inspiration!
Please send along a nut-free snack for a break and water bottle. We will be spending some time outside. Please ensure that clothing is weather appropriate.
