Drawing On Our Creative Nature
4-weeks (first 4) | Registration closed 9/10/2025
What does your art tell you about yourself? Drawing may evoke deep emotions, spark imagination, and lead to discovery of your inner lights. In this class we will use mixed media in abstract, expressive, and realistic drawings. Exercises are designed to build confidence and support each individual’s unique creative responses and styles. You may discover that drawing can be a source of openness and inspiration for further creative connections in creative writing, journaling, and poetry. Weather permitting, we will draw outside, letting the campus and nature free our drawing. This is an exploratory class and no prior drawing or art background is necessary.
Materials will be provided by the instructor; however, students are encouraged to bring a sketchbook and any personal drawing supplies that they would like to use.
