Mastering Drawing
Adult Drawing Class

Where: Firehouse Arts (9 Cedarwood Ave)
Start Date: February 26, class is scheduled to run 6 weeks, but will continue if there is interest. Cost will be prorated for anyone who joins after the first class.
Drawing is basic to art, yet artists of all levels can be challenged by drawing problems. In this class we will sharpen our perceptual skills and practice the methods of reproducing what we see on paper. During the first six weeks session, we will focus on accurately drawing 3-d objects in interesting compositions, creating light and shadow and texture. This class is appropriate for beginners or artists who want to strengthen basic skills.

Fellow art enthusiasts! Take a look at the beautiful work that the kids did in the Tybee Arts Association's Arts of Japan class with instructor Atsuko Smith!

All images that say "Arts of Japan" are images from the class, but don't miss out on looking at Atsuko's personal work posted on the site. She created all of that beauty from recycled wrappers and plastic bags!

If you wish to inquire about Atsuko's future classes for adults and children,

call Natalie von Loewenfeldt at 441-4487.
