Beginners Drawing Skills for Adults and Drawing with Young Children – Workshop for Homeschoolers

Join Kathleen Tonnesen in Vancouver B.C., Canada. Sunday, February 12, 2023 from 12:30 pm to 4:30 pm

Teaching begins with you: Learning to draw enhances your communication skills using the visual language of art, creating dynamic teachers. Develop your cognitive skills, improve your self-confidence, and learn how to teach your new drawing skills to children in simple fun ways, every day. Every line, every mark on a creation, tells a story. Drawing skills foster the language of art as an expressive medium for meaningful reciprocal conversations via storytelling and self-reflection.

Objectives:

* Explore how to see with an artist’s eye.

* Understand how basic geometric shapes govern our understanding of what we see.

* Discover how light sourcing influences what we see and how light wraps form.

* Appreciate how our emotional state is affected by our environment and expressed in our art.
