Everyone can learn to draw. Everyone. For most people it’s a question of re-thinking the way you look at objects, people, light and shadows. Betty Edwards’ Book, “Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain” is the guiding philosophy behind this first time offering at the Queen Anne’s County Arts Council’s Centre for the Arts in Centreville, Maryland.

This six-week class taught by popular artist and instructor Sally Clark, incorporates still-life’s, landscapes, and portraits – all in a relaxed setting and at each student’s pace. Drawing techniques and drawing tools will be explored.

Classes begin on Wednesday, October 7 and run through November 11 from 9:3 a.m. to 12 p.m. Clark is a former art educator who now works as a full-time artist. Her watercolors and whimsical designs on furniture are on display in several galleries and held in private collections. She is co-owner of L’atelier Gallery in Chestertown, MD. A list of required materials will be provided upon registration. The registration deadline is September 30. The cost is $140 for members of the Arts Council, $160 for non-members.

Center for the Arts classes are designed to renew existing artistic interests, and to develop new skills. Registration materials are available at 206 South Commerce St. in Centreville, MD Tuesday-Friday from 9 am to 5 pm and Saturday from 10 am to 2 pm, or by calling 410-758-2520, online, www.arts4u.info , or request via email at exhibit@arts4u.info.
