Drawing 101 is off and running...

Drawing 101 last night was great. Lots of creative energy! There's so much I'd like to include in the class, it's hard to fit it all in. We started with Linear Drawings and next week we'll work our way into Tonal Drawings. I have students from 13 years of age on up - what a treat to see everyone 'honing their visual skills'! I'm encouraging everyone to keep a sketchbook throughout our 4 week session, hoping that it may create a regular drawing habit. It was fun to see what people had done over the week in their sketchbooks - some wonderful stuff - from a spoon to children to room interiors. It's amazing what can be created with just a pencil and paper! There is a simplicity to drawing that I really love. Somehow there must be a lesson for life there... but that's for another class.
