The Visual Journal: Observational Drawing for Journaling

In our modern culture, we have forgotten that observational drawing is a taught skill that was the primary way people visually communicated travels and ideas for centuries. Everyone drew to some extent, either to illustrate writing or communicate with the illiterate. All people of a certain social class were required to take drawing classes during the Victorian era to be able to share travel stories through visual and written journals. Teaching this method of drawing, otherwise known as the "academic method" has existed since the Renaissance, with the most famous examples being the notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci.
I have been teaching the academic method of drawing for nearly 20 years and can guarantee that participants will leave the class drawing better than when they came. I would love to offer this class to our members. If you are interested in taking an observational drawing for journaling class, please let us know. Would you be interested in a morning or evening class? And what days of the week would you be able to attend?

The class would be four sessions (2 or 3 hours each) (materials will be included) The cost will be $175-$200 per person.
