Sketchbooks are an important artist's tool and wonderful place to express yourself visually. In this class we will combine foundational skills like life-drawing with expressive experiments like collage and even fan art. Whether you like painting, animation, or just love doodling in your notebooks, a sketchbook is a wonderful way to form good artistic habits and improve your work. Bring pencils, pens, and an open mind to try something new!

Sketchbooks and core materials will be provided by the Center. Students are welcome to bring any additional or preferred art materials they enjoy working with.
