Marshfield Senior Center, Day 1

Today was the 1st of 4 lessons on Drawing...

Goals for today were:

1) To be introduced to each other and to begin to break down barriers

2) BEGIN to learn some of the "tricks of the trade" or "Methods to the Mystery"
 Sometimes drawing something that we would like is as simple as applying some of the basic tricks Artists have been using the show off for years!

3) Learn how to use and see positive & negative SPACE & SHAPE 

4) Work form an Image and learn how to:
  • a) make it any size you want
  • b) learn how to transfer a drawing to any surface for further development in any medium
  • c) learn how you can take an existing drawing and develop it into a creative original work
I want my developing Artists to know that ...
  • 1)  You ARE an artist.. you just haven't realized it yet due to lack of interest, practice and believing in yourself (maybe you were discouraged somehow in your past)
  • 2) Concepts that I am sharing with you are going to build and work together to a fuller understanding
  • 3) no matter where you are in your own development you WILL see progress as we go along... remember practice does not make 'perfect' but rather PRACTICE makes PROGRESS
  • 4) we are all very critical of ourselves and self conscious of our own work. We want to "get it RIGHT" and QUICKLY! We need to allow ourselves to freedom to play and experiment which is unique to the creative process
