Travel Sketching

ART-40155

4 Weeks | In-Class

Add to your travel memories by adding creative and colorful illustrations to your journal. In this condensed-format course, students learn to train the eye and hand to record--quickly and with flair--the world enjoyed by the traveler. Sketching techniques practiced with various media help capture the character, movement and texture of the subject, in the light of the moment. Landscapes, everyday scenes, people, animals and details of life chosen by a selective eye will take form in the sketchbook to be enjoyed as a reminder of travels for years to come.
