This class will be based on the book of the same name by Betty Edwards. We will practice exercises designed to engage the part of the brain that sees the way artists see. This will facilitate drawing from observation accurately, as well as promote creativity by awakening seldom used mental capacities. Among the techniques we will learn and practice will be blind contour drawing, focusing on negative spaces, and drawing from an inverted printed image. This class will be an excellent opportunity to improve your drawing skills and make painting and designing easier. It won't be necessary to have your own copy of the book. Materials provided.
