Description:
Have you ever said, “I can’t even draw a stick figure!”? If you think you can’t draw, be prepared to change your mind – Julia Carpenter will take you on a joy-filled Discovery and you’ll see that you really can draw! That’s right, in just one day, you’ll go from saying “ME?? I can’t draw!” to “ Hey look! I did this! I can draw!”
Our Discovery! series is just for beginners. We want to provide an encouraging, relaxing environment where beginners don’t have to worry about what anyone else is thinking or doing – a safe place where those discouraging voices in your head will melt away. A place where you can discover that this art thing might just be your thing.
Julia will teach you how to “see”, exercising a different part of your brain than you usually use. Drawing the world around you is about being truly “in the moment” – the kind of focus that brings joy, relaxation and satisfaction. Drawing also teaches you so much about WHAT it is you are drawing – learning directly from the world around you. Every person is capable of this, it just takes some teaching and some practice. In this one-day class, you’ll also touch on the basics of line, shape, value and form.
If you find yourself wanting more drawing classes, Julia also teaches a series of 4-week classes on Mondays called The Joy of Drawing (part 1) and The Joy of Drawing Continues (part 2). Check our website for more information on these two great classes! If you aren’t free on Mondays, we’ll have other options for you in the fall.
