Drawing Classes in the Boston Area
Drawing is one of the oldest and most revered visual art forms. From the early cave drawings to the illustrations of renaissance genius Leonardo da Vinci, it has always been an essential tool in the artist's skill set.
Drawing is not just an important tool for the artist but it actually makes us smarter and feel happier. Research at the National Center of Biotechnology Information has shown that drawing improves not just the ability to think, but also enhances creativity and holistic health.
Drawing classes come in many styles, mediums and skill levels, starting with beginner classes where you explore basic techniques such as composition and perspective to advanced classes where you learn the nuances of nature, citiscapes or portraits.
