Drawing for Busy People
- Teacher: Carolina Brunet (speaks Spanish & English)
- Class Length: 8 Weeks
- Days: Wednesday, beginning March 25
- Time: 5:00-6:30 pm PST
Too busy for a traditional art class? This one’s built for you.
Show up, grab a pencil, and draw. That’s the goal.
This course is designed for people who want to grow as artists—even with limited time, irregular schedules, or creative gaps. Each session is self-contained, with a clear prompt, artist inspirations, and focused time to draw. If you miss a week, you can jump right back in. No setup, no pressure—we make it easy to start.
Over the 8 weeks, you’ll explore drawing through distinct frameworks—from spatial design and abstraction to emotional mark-making, narrative invention, constraint-based problem solving, and material play. You’ll work from observation, imagination, and hybrid sources. The structure supports both skill-building and creative risk-taking.
Whether you only draw during class or squeeze in 10 minutes a day, you’ll develop core skills, deepen your perception, and expand your visual language. This class can be taken more than once, with new prompts and references introduced each cycle.
Some prior drawing experience is recommended but not required.
