Drawing as Creative Play
Drawing doesn't require talent—it requires permission to play. This class teaches you how to combine a few basic shapes into beautiful designs, building a daily drawing practice that unlocks your personal creative style.
You'll learn how to fill a page with your creations without judgment, then discover frameworks and containers that generate infinite design possibilities. The second half shows how to apply these techniques to create a mandala design, building from simple geometric foundations. With just pencil, pen, and paper, you'll develop the confidence that comes from regular practice. The deeper lesson: the more you draw, the more you'll discover ways to inject design and creativity into every part of your life. This isn't about natural ability; it's about giving yourself permission to create.
About this course
Have you always wanted to enjoy drawing as a fun way to pass the time and relax?
Have you admired the wonderful designs you see people draw and wish you could draw them too?
In this class, I will show you how to draw a few basic shapes and then we will experiment with ways to use them to create a multitude of simple and beautiful designs. We will play with filling a page with our creations and make drawing a daily habit. The more you draw the more you will find ways to add design and creativity into your life.
In the second part of the class I will show you how I use containers and frameworks to create more ideas with the shapes we learned and then we will walk through the process of creating a mandala design with these techniques.
What you will need:
- pencil
- felt tip pen or marker
- paper, drawing pad or sketchbook
- eraser
No drawing experience is required. The purpose of this class is to inspire you to just pick up the pencil and draw. The more we just allow ourselves to play on the paper, without judging our designs, the better we will become at drawing and the more open we will become to our own creative style.
