It's Monster Time

What to Expect:

Following a simple yet effective technique children will learn how to turn basic shapes and ideas into funny, friendly, scary and completely crazy creatures. If you can draw, that's great. If you think you can't draw, that's even better!

What to bring/wear:

All materials are included.

Benefits:

The workshop is all about having a relaxed fun time with no pressure. Participants will be drawing with just a pencil. We will work on character design and facial expressions. We will also discover how to use shade, shadow, texture, movement, scale and perspective. It's a springboard into helping budding young artists develop their artistic skills. It will also show that doodling is an easy access and therapeutic form of art - all you need is pen and paper.
