Beginner Drawing Class Registration

Let loose your creativity during Roberson’s 8-week drawing class!

Your instructor, Nancy Ryan, has over 20 years of experience in the arts. She’ll guide you step-by-step through the drawing process showing you how to use space and shadow to create scenes with depth and movement. You’ll learn the proper technique to exercise your drawing muscles and make your new portfolio of pieces flow!

We’ll begin with learning to SEE like an artist–breaking down complex forms into simple shapes. Then we’ll graduate up to using the still lifes within Roberson’s beautifully laid-out nature exhibition to inspire and create dynamic scenes.

This drawing class contains more than 20 hours of instruction. Plus, use the backdrop of the Roberson Museum’s stunning exhibitions as your source material. Drawing materials to complete the course are included with registration.

*Each course has a limit of 7 openings to maintain social distancing and COVID-19 safety standards. Students 16 years and older are welcome to register. All students must be registered to participate. No substitutes may be sent to class.

Masks must be worn at all times
