Event Details

The library is pleased to offer a seven-session Drawing Art class for adults this Fall. This course offers a comprehensive foundation in drawing for both beginners and those who wish to enhance their drawing skills further. You will learn the drawing vocabulary, such as composition, proportion, perspective, line, gesture, value, and texture. You will understand how to use and explore these concepts to create original works. 

Please register for the first class to attend this course. Please do not register for this class if you participated in "The Art of Drawing" course this past Spring at the Library.  Priority registration will be given to new students.
