Drawing as a Tool for Thinking
with Sara Svati
Overcome the fear of drawing and discover its power as a tool for everyone. Drawing isn't just about creating beautiful artwork; it's a versatile skill that can help you think, decompress, solve problems, and understand the world around and inside us. Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to explore drawing in a new way, this course welcomes you.
In our small, friendly group, we'll explore drawing as a tool for relaxation, creativity, and making sense of the world. Throughout the sessions, we’ll:
Use drawing to relax and de-stress
Discover how sketching can help you see things differently
Learn to explore ideas through marks and lines
Unlock your creativity through pressure-free activities
To help you let go and get into the flow, we'll listen to soothing, unobtrusive music as we draw. This intimate class is designed to be a supportive space where you can explore and grow at your own pace.
Everyone is welcome, no previous experience necessary. Looking forward to drawing with you!
