Are drawing materials provided?

Yes, the basic materials to perform the exercises are provided! However, you can also bring your own materials if you prefer, or if there are some you would like to try

Do I need to attend sessions regularly?

Ideally yes, but most elements of each session are self contained. For instance, we might learn about line drawing in one week, and shading in the next - these are different topics, but one helps the other

Will I learn how to draw?

Yes, we are confident you will improve your drawing skills! While the focus is on creativity and expression, the exercises are meant to tap into the fundamentals of drawing.

I am a beginner, are these sessions suitable for me?

Definitely! We believe these exercises can benefit both beginner and intermediate levels - if you are very experienced with drawing, the concepts in the first lessons might be somewhat redundant

Creative Drawing Sessions

By Creative Drawing @ Afrika Yetu Berlin

Overview

Learn drawing fundamentals through creative exercises - from line and composition to shading and color, every week, in a relaxed setting.

Creativity and artistic expression bring joy to most of us - but finding the time and means is not always easy. Our drawing sessions provide the space for you to explore your creativity with tailored exercises, in a relaxed environment. You will learn drawing fundamentals and improve your technique, but the focus is mainly on expression and discovery instead of skill.

We will go throught different exercises, materials and techinques, and hopefully guide the curriculum based on your experiences and prefences. Instead of a rigid classroom setting associated with anxiety in process of acquiring a new skill, these sessions are meant to create a safe moment that enriches your day.
