Come join us for a fun morning of observational drawing for older adults – let’s get creative together!
In this class, we will begin experimenting with techniques to add light and shadow (value) to our drawings, to help give them the illusion of three-dimensionality and form.
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.
