This is a class for students at all levels of drawing. If you’ve always wanted to draw, if you’ve been trying to make time for drawing, if you’ve been drawing for years but wondered why your work hasn’t improved, this class is for you. There will be lessons for students who wish to learn or continue to practice the fundamentals of translating the three-dimensional world into two-dimensions. There will be alternate lessons for students who are interested in broadening their skills and finding ways to use them as a means of expression. Having the opportunity to deepen these skills over the period of several weeks will enable all students to sustain their practice.

(In the event that BAC has to cancel a class session due to weather or facility emergencies, please note the pre-scheduled makeup date for this course will be Thursday, February 20. More information on our policies for cancellations can be found HERE.)
