ML-51-EXT Meet The Creative YOU
I want to introduce you to someone special. That someone is YOU! It is easy to find your "inner artist." The ability to be creative is every person's birthright, not a special talent reserved for a few. The gift is there, to be exposed, using simple tools and techniques. The class will briefly cover the basics for creating beautiful art starting with proper seated body position and upper arm and hand function allowing freedom of motion, creating beautiful line quality. After doing warm-up exercises, participants will use their own intuitive inclinations to develop and expand the drawing exercise with colored pencils. Discussion and questions can be shared at the end of this one and one-half hour lesson. Participants will need to bring a sharpened pencil. Paper and colored pencils will be provided. A reference manual "Simple Lines Make a Difference" will also be offered for a fee of $10 (payable at the time of the course) to anyone interested in expanding the experience of creating art through line and color on their own at home.
