Course

From Dürer’s travel sketchbook of local dress and hospitality to Delacroix’s exotic Moroccan sketchbooks, collected drawings have recorded friends and family, dreams and landscapes, feasts and fauna. Using a variety of materials, including pencil, crayon, ink, or watercolor, this class will explore how to create a visual journal with an exciting, fresh approach. Images from the street, media, memory, and imagination will merge and emerge to capture our daily experiences. Open to all levels.
