NEW ADULT CLASS: Drawing As Meditation 

Thursdays
April 23 - May 28
6:30 - 8PM

Drawing As Meditation is a studio-based course that explores drawing as a mindful, contemplative practice rather than solely a technical skill. Through slow, intentional mark-making, repetitive forms, observational exercises, and guided reflection, students learn to use drawing as a tool for focus, presence, and self-awareness. The class introduces techniques such as continuous line drawing, pattern building, and meditative observation of everyday objects and natural forms. Emphasis is placed on process over perfection, encouraging students of all experience levels to quiet the mind, deepen attention, and cultivate a personal drawing practice that supports creativity, relaxation, and mental clarity.
