Dale Farland

It is exciting to announce that the SaddleBrooke Ranch (SBR) Art Club Beginner Drawing Class I filled up almost immediately upon announcement. The instructor, Lisa Friedman, is teaching another Beginner Drawing Class I. Plus, she will teach a Beginner Drawing Class II for those who want to continue or simply join the class at this level. All classes will be held in the Art Room within the SBR Creative Arts and Tech Center.

Registration for both classes will be through GroupWorks. Members of the SBR Art Club will have priority in attending classes. If you want the forms to join the SBR Art Club, contact Dale Farland at [email protected]. Membership is only $15.

Here is the information for these two classes:

First Class: Beginner Drawing I

Then you will apply basic concepts such as proportion and size to paper with fun exercises, where you will use lines, shapes, and forms as your building blocks. All materials will be provided, so all you need to bring is yourself!
