Instructor: Fred Faudie

This class is a traditional yet a novel approach to drawing and image making. It's for beginners (to learn new skills), for the intermediate (to expand existing skills),  or for the experienced (to renew and refresh understanding­). What are we doing when we make marks? What do those marks represent; what do they mean? We will explore the making of expressive images — from drawing with sticks to whatever it is we do with our phone cameras and other media. Be prepared to arrive with questions, open minds, curiosity... and a commitment to learn and have fun! Click here for a Materials List
