It’s amazing what one can achieve by setting a goal and making a plan. The bones of this class were established when I taught a studio drawing class at the University of Tampa. Of course, there have been several changes since that time. Those changes led to discovering the best progression to teach this skill. I have taught an iteration of this course to homeschool groups, privately to individuals and in the classroom. The current version comes complete with reading material, practice exercises and video instruction. The course is designed for the absolute beginner interested in drawing. This class features beginner drawing lessons for ages 14 and up. It's an affordable option for homeschool students and adults looking for self-paced instruction.
