Drawing is the language of seeing: both what our eyes see and what we see internally. We all have this ability. This eight-week course will make the connection between the external and internal means of seeing and making. The emphasis of this course is making marks that will lead to well-developed compositions. The distance from the first mark to the last mark will determine your persistence, determination, and imagination. Working with a specific set of drawing tools will allow you to explore your innermost passions and the outer limits of your imagination, along with guided exercises, still life, and image reference, all of which will help you launch your imaginations and discover your creativity.

If you're on the fence about trying this out, please jump in!! I attended my first Sketch Event last month, and had a wonderful time! I don't do this type of art at all (I usually paint animals or landscapes by myself at home, and take more than 20 minutes to do it, LOL!), and I was really happy I gave this a try. Please come out!
