About this course

The intent of the course is to demonstrate to any adult that drawing is something that can be learnt as opposed to the common belief that it is an inherent talent. 


The course will look at everyday items and analyse them for the purpose of drawing them as correctly as possible. Learners will repeatedly draw the same object in each lesson with regular class and individual feedback, encouraging them to see diverse aspects of what their eye perceives and how to convey that to the page. 


No skills or knowledge needed, only request is lots of calm concentration and patience to try and try again. 


Learners should bring a black or blue biro pen
