Welcome to the new Students this is your teacher for the summer session at 3rd Ward - Ryan OConnor.
It was great to meet you all last Saturday at our first class. This blog was set up
so we can have an ongoing engagement of ideas, thoughts and questions. I want
us to create a vibrant dialogue that can support and encourage your ongoing
development through our Saturday class meetings.
Each of you have been added and should post things to the blog. These posts can be germane to the class specifically or congruent to the larger topic of art in life ie. a gallery show to check out, an inspiring story of an artist, your favorite chocolate cake recipe! Well maybe not that unless you studied under Ferran Adria!! kidding.
Buy a small sketchbook and start carrying it with you. Then check this out:
The American drawing-book by J.G. Chapman from 1847

Whether you draw, used to draw or stopped drawing we will use this text as a jumping off point. Draw anything, draw poorly, do amazing drawings. I encourage everyone to post a sketch or any thoughts they have about drawing.
