About this Event
In this introductory class, we will discuss techniques to help hone our observational skills, focusing on drawing the outer shapes (contours) of simple, three-dimensional objects to help create more realistic drawings.
Supplies: Loose paper and pencils will be provided, but participants can bring their own supplies if they prefer.
This class is part of the Arts for Older Adults program and is open only to adults aged 65 or older through grant funding from Tennessee Arts Commission.
