ALL TALENTS ARE DWARFED WITHOUT DISCIPLINE

I know a lot of people who claim they cannot draw. I will argue that

after many hard months of practice, they will change their claim. They

say we are either left-brained or right-brained, and some of us are a

little of both. Creativity is becoming better connected with the right side,

which begins with acknowledging that this portion of all of our minds is

active, and functioning. We just need to learn how to use it. Drawing,

photography, perspective sketching are all enhanced by learning how see

the world in a new way. Perfect for Christians; an activity that gives us

perspective. Oh, and it takes daily practice and diligence. My class will

require a sketchbook, a pen (no pencils) and an open mind. Hopefully we

are a few lectures away from doodling our last curly flowers in the

margins, and ready to use sketching as a powerful communication tool.

I can offer techniques and skills to change even the most hopeless

artist into a confident illustrator. My aim is a bit deeper though; I want

to teach people how to see, more than how to draw. It begins with the

eye, and we will work toward the hand. I will need a room at the church,

hopefully one with a whiteboard.
