DRAWING FOR THE ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED BEGINNER

But all levels are welcome!

If you can write or print, you can draw.  Talent may speed up the process.  However, drawing is a learned skill that anyone can achieve with direction and practice.  Learning to draw can be the gateway to self-expression and appreciation of the world at large.

“Drawing for the Absolutely Terrified Beginner” is taught by Lester Clarke, an artist and illustrator who is a graduate of Sheridan College and presently teaches art here at CECC and with Toronto Parks and Recreation.

Date:  Mondays, January 25 - March 22
          (8 classes, no class Feb. 15)
Time:  6:45 -  8:45 p.m.
Cost:  $65.00 CECC members, $70.00 non-members
