Experience an introduction to drawing fundamentals and advanced techniques to build figurative drawing skills. All levels of artists will enjoy mastering their understanding of movement through anatomy in a creative way! Material fee.

What may seem like simple drawings to the world may actually be preparing students for mainstream careers. Mr. Joseph Falligan, a medical illustrator whose work can be seen in educational books, inspires students to gear their visions toward current fields of study, be it anything from science to video games. No matter one’s interests, drawing is a skill that can prepare students for futures in entertainment and media, marketing, storyboarding, animation, botany, veterinarian sciences, engineering, and the list goes on. Materials suggested: pencils, kneaded eraser, 11×14 pad of paper.
