Basic Drawing Skills with Jennifer Love

Ages 55+

Saturdays

March 12th to May 7th

1:00PM-2:30PM

Anyone can learn to draw! Creating can bring you joy, stress relief, and a sense of accomplishment. Drawing skills are the foundation for creating most forms of two-dimensional art. In this class, participants will learn how to break down subjects into basic shapes and proper proportions; how to distinguish and create light, medium, and dark values

to create dimension; and to layout and complete more complicated drawings using sections (quadrants). Art classes give students the ability to provide encouragement to each other, socialize, and learn from each other. Participants will learn to develop self-confidence, let go of self-criticism and, most importantly, have fun! 

All supplies will be provided. This class is being provided free as part of the Creative Aging program grant from the Utah Department of Arts & Museums. The class is limited to 10 participants.
