Drawing on the Right Side
of the Brain Techniques
July 12-16, 2010
Time:10:00-3:30
Cost: Non-Member $735.00
Member $705.00
Drawing is a skill that can be acquired, just like learning to ride a bicycle or learning to read. Based on Dr. Betty Edwards book, Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, students learn to use the side of the brain that is suited for drawing. Lectures, demonstrations and exercises guide you into drawing. The first step to accurate drawing is to train the eye to observe detail and capture that detail on paper. Please bring lunch.
(Includes a $75 Materials Fee)
This is a great class for people who have always wanted to learn to draw but believed it wasn't possible. There is no prerequisite for this intensive workshop.
