Youth developmental Drawing with Lisa
Join local artist Lisa Matthias for a 4-week drawing course designed for youth who want to build confidence, skills, and creative expression through observational drawing. This class combines structured learning with playful exploration, supporting students as they learn to see and draw the world more closely.
We’ll work with line, proportion, shading, texture, and composition through a variety of drawing exercises using natural objects, everyday surroundings, and imaginative prompts. Alongside technical skill-building, students will be encouraged to experiment and develop their own visual language.
Each session includes guided instruction and open drawing time in a supportive studio environment. Students will leave with stronger observational skills, increased confidence, and a collection of drawings developed over the four weeks.

Teen Art
Welcome to "The Sketchbook Club" - an exciting online art class designed for adults to unleash their creativity and hone their drawing skills in a supportive environment.
In this weekly 1.5-hour Zoom session, participants will embark on a six-week artistic journey led by our experienced instructor, Carla Olson. Whether you're a seasoned artist or just beginning your creative exploration, this class offers a perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of sketching.
Each week, students have the freedom to either follow along with the instructor's guided drawing sessions or pursue their own artistic visions. With webcams (laptop, tablet or phone) required, Carla will provide personalized guidance and support, ensuring that every stroke of your pencil is met with encouragement and constructive feedback. You can turn your camera on and off as you work, giving Carla a chance to give feedback.
As a community of aspiring artists, we collaborate to generate fresh drawing ideas each week, fostering a dynamic and inspiring learning environment. At the end of each session, there's dedicated time for Q&A and feedback, where Carla addresses queries and provides insights to further enhance your skills.
Can't make it to the live session? Don't worry! All classes will be recorded and made available for the week, allowing students to catch up on missed sessions at their convenience while still experiencing the essence of the live class.
