Sketching, ages 7-10
Learn techniques for realistic sketching, drawing, and colouring in pencil. Students will follow the instructor in step-by-step lessons on how to draw various subjects.

This class focuses on drawing in pencils. If you are looking for a more general class where students do a combination of drawing, painting, and crafty stuff, check out Drawing & Painting or Mixed Media.
