Have fun while learning the challenging skill of drawing from observation in this one-week course!

In this class, short drawing exercises give students the confidence and ability to tackle more finished works of art. Lessons incorporate a variety of materials and genres such as still life, portraiture, and landscape. For inspiration, students view and discuss drawings by well-known artists through in-class discussions.

Open to students ages 12-15. MCAD strictly adheres to these age guidelines and is unable to allow exceptions. Please review our complete Teen Policies as well as our General Policies prior to completing your registration.
