Drawing on Our Creative Nature

4-weeks (last 4) | Registration opens 2/14/2026 9:00 AM EST

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 individuals’ 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. This is an exploratory class, and no art experience is necessary. Weather permitting, we will spend time outside, letting the campus and nature free our drawing.

  • Materials: Students may use their own sketchbooks and any personal drawing supplies, if they wish. In addition, there will be a $10 fee per student for materials provided by the instructor
