This class is for the beginning student who has always wanted to draw and express themselves through art. We will learn about the basic building blocks of drawing to establish a firm foundation for future growth. Students will learn about the materials they will be using to start their journey by doing simple exercises to encourage confidence. Basic line work and a simple introduction to forms and shapes will all be taught. Examples will be shown on the whiteboard for the students to follow.

A supply list will be provided at the Parent/Student Orientation Meeting.
