Thinking With A Pencil Wednesdays 10 to 11:30 AM. Fee $96 for 8 sessions
Designed to show how drawing can be put to practical use in every field from acting to zoology. This course is intended for two groups:
(1) those who wish to use drawing as a tool for thought and communication but lack knowledge of how to make drawings and (2) those who are accustomed to draw but want to enlarge their graphic vocabularies and extend the range of fields in which they can apply the abilities that they already possess. This course will enable you to learn more rapidly, think more efficiently, and communicate more effectively. It does not depend on any computer or program. Neither do you need a source of electricity. You can draw anywhere. It's also fun! Professor Murray Bloom: 973 379-5488
