Youth teenage art class – April 2019
“Its a great way to learn art”
EBD
Tracy taught another well attended youth art class all about drawing shadows and learning to understand the link between the shape of the object and the shapes of the shadows that are created as light moves around an object from different positions. The students ranging in age from 11 – 15 years old all enjoyed themselves and produced some wonderfully well-observed drawings. Read further to find out what they thought of the class.
