Drawing as Seeing
Drawing as Seeing is an invitation to slow down and really pay attention. Together, we’ll explore unexpected ways of seeing the world through drawing—using pencil, charcoal, and wet media as tools for curiosity rather than perfection. This course is about learning technique, yes, but also about trusting your instincts, quieting the noise, and discovering your own way of translating what you see (and feel) onto the page. $20 per class, payable to the instructor via cash/Venmo, or check.
This class will be taught by Scott Wright who is an internationally exhibited painter whose work has shown from San Francisco to Scotland, including The Butler Institute of American Art and Bronx Art Space. In 2009, the Lancaster Museum of Art honored him with a major retrospective spanning forty-plus works and a full-color catalog.
An MFA graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and recipient of the Hazell Award for Painters, Wright’s work has been featured in The Philadelphia Inquirer and The New York Times and lives in collections across the country. He has taught painting, drawing, and digital media at Temple University, Purchase College, and Franklin & Marshall College.
Recommended Drawing Tools: For their first session, students should bring assorted drawing pencils, sharpeners, erasers, and drawing paper. As students progress a more detailed materials list can be provided.
