ABOUT THIS EVENT

Event Overview

Let’s face it, drawing people isn’t easy, but it sure is a lot of fun! Exaggerated features, heightened imperfections and awkward laughs just come with the territory.

Students in this class will learn illustration warm-up exercises, review work from experts in the field, and experiment with illustrating people in a relaxed, judgement-free setting. All skill levels are welcome. Students should bring something to draw on and draw with. Extra materials will be provided as needed.

By the end of this workshop, students will have transformed both celebrities and their classmates into recognizable caricatures. They will understand which facial features to exaggerate in order to capture the essence of a person. Participants will also receive a personal portrait of themselves by the instructor!

Minimum age

All ages welcome

This class was a lot of fun! I'm horrible at drawing people so it was fun to stretch my comfort zone and try something new. I love the her concept of drawing what you can in a short period of time. It really forces you to change your 'natural habit of drawing' (if that makes sense) The other participants were fun and it made the class silly and easy going. I definitely suggest BYOB. A little buzz would have helped my talents!

There was a great creative energy in this class. We played some drawing games and tried to draw celebrities, people from magazines/calendars, and each other. I would definitely recommend this class if you are looking to get your "creative doodle" on, but not if you want to learn skills or techniques to drawing. I don't think my drawing skills improved any, but I had a great time doodling.
