Learning to draw what you see

2/19/2019

Time sneaks up on us... now that the SCBWI conference is over, its time for my drawing class to start again!

For more info, click here, or on the "classes" tab in the site menu.

I wanted to briefly talk about why I wanted to teach a drawing class. Isn't just drawing enough? Why take away from precious creating time to do it?

For a long time I've been interested in not just drawing, but HOW we draw. What actually goes on in a person's brain when they are making something? It's something that is hard to articulate--artists usually know how to do it, but not how to explain it to someone else.

I don't have all the answers, but I love sharing the ones that I do with the people who sign up for my classes. It's fun too see the ah-hah moments and the visible progress as they "get" it, and see a drawing that they made that actually looks like the real thing.

I feel strongly that learning to draw has benefits for anyone, not just those who want to be art professionals. It helps you focus, set aside your natural biases to see things in a new way, and to meditate, among other things.

So, if you're in the Schenectady area and any of those things sound cool to you, I'd love to see you in class!
