Elementary Art-A sequential drawing course

​This sequential drawing course is designed for children in grades K-5. Training in drawing is more than exploring the ways of using line to illustrate mass, or to bravely make mistakes, or to record what the eye sees. The lessons in this elementary drawing class are stepping stones in growth to what a line can say. The lessons are created solely for the purpose of encouraging imaginative exploration using a simple means that can lead to the path of discovery.

Students will have access to the course for 12 weeks.
