As we make our pieces, we learn about different materials, tools and techniques, and about the technical traditions that help us create the illusion of three-dimensional space on a flat piece of paper. Drawing is fun. Drawing is exciting. It involves discovery and creativity. Drawing is educational and skill-enhancing.
Drawing is a highly rewarding experience for the developing artist.
In learning to handle elegantly simple tools, the apprentice finds new venues for self-expression. Regardless of age or experience, he or she can now define what is beautiful and captivating. The formal study of drawing serves as background for later training in many fields, including technical drawing and engineering, computer-aided design, fashion, illustration, architecture, advertising, publishing and the fine arts. Best of all, drawing can always be pursued as an end in itself, providing the individual with a lifetime of opportunities for creative expression. All rights reserved.
