A strong foundation of drawing skills will prepare these young artists for the greater artistic challenges to come. A basic introduction to drawing includes learning how to observe our surroundings closely, create a deeper sense of spatial reasoning, and be able to translate what we are seeing into simpler images and expressions. Not to mention- drawing is the most pure and accessible form of creativity and expression. Providing young artists with these skills will build their confidence not only in the arts but in their sense of expression at large 

The only supplies that you/your young artist will need for this course is paper, drawing materials. Coloring tools are a great option to also have, but not necessary. 

This course will cost $250 total for 10 courses.
