The FUNdamentals of Art: FUN01: Drawing (CLASS)

Drawing is the most primal expression of self that is known to man. With this activity, people first express their creativity, and communicate how they see and understand the world. It is therefore a very sad thing when people grow up, and say that they do not know how to draw.

The main purpose of the DEGAS FUNdamentals is to show people not just HOW to draw, but also to let them know that they CAN draw, and when done properly, drawing is a way to tell stories about themselves. It develops not just technical skills, but also crucial life skills such as curiosity, perseverance,  and team play, skills necessary to future life success.

The 48 weeks of this program is divided into 6 modules and covers the fundamentals of Drawing, Storytelling, and Design. Here, we will guide students young and old through the very basics they need to know and be proficient in so they can confidently say that they can indeed create art, and be a well-rounded individual as well.

NOTE: This is for group classes of at least 5 people. DEGAS will start the class once we have at least 5 attendees in the class. If you want to get started immediately, please look for our 1-on-1 offer. Please contact us for slot and timing availabilities!
