Are You Drawing Insecure?? We Gotchu!

Think you can’t draw? Well, think again…! This welcoming class for teens and adults is designed for two levels:

• Level 1 (Beginners): Learn to use artists’ drawing tools, get confident, and discover new ways of seeing and imagining that will result in drawings you are proud of!

• Level 2 (Intermediate): For students with some experience who want to go further—bring your own photos, or receive subjects and style options to explore in class.

At both levels, you’ll expand your awareness of what makes a “good drawing,” have fun discovering your unique artistic style, and receive 1:1 individualized guidance.

Don’t miss this empowering program---your inner artist called and they want OUT! Yes, you can draw! You got this!

The CAC will provide the materials and tools; however, if you prefer to use your own, please do not hesitate to do so.
