Lessons in Drawing

[aatish2.livejournal.com]

I wish to learn how to draw. Not in the spaghetti-western-pistoles-at-high-noon style, but more in the making cool shapes with a charcoal pencil and paper style. I am a total beginner.

Any suggestions on where I could learn to do such a thing around here? Or alternately, any of you fine people make a habit of teaching drawing?

Well, I have an art degree and am currently unemployed. I'd give you lessons if you had a place to meet that I could get to via public transportation and would pay me a sum per lesson that we could work out in private, plus pay for your own materials.

Lessons on how to draw only happen at high noon. ;)

Check out the Cambridge Center for Adult Education (other towns have similar things, but the CCAE is really close). They probably have some really basic drawing classes.

Yeah, I second CCAE. They have their regular program of art stuff (http://www.ccae.org/catalog/courses/?time=3&id=1), and what seems to be a slightly more serious one (http://www.ccaestudioschool.org/program.html).

I know there's a small school in Medford Square that offers drawing classes. I'm not sure what they offer, but I know someone who went there several years ago and was pleased. Sorry but I'm drawing a blank on the name, but I do know that it's above Papa Gino's (which may be gone now, but it's right in the center of the square).

Drawing Classes

Hi there,
I teach drawing in Davis Square, and it the next class starts on Feb. 20th and runs for 5 weeks. You can see more info on my profile. It's a very small class (limited to ten) and I have a lot of experience teaching. Let me know if you have any questions, and I hope you sign up! :)

Thanks! I just tried to sign up but the email address you have posted on your LJ page "diana.rice@yahoo.com" bounced. Is there another email we can use to communicate?

I did - their next session doesn't start for a while but they look like they have *lots* of neat classes.

That's fabulous!! Now I have a reason to get good enough to draw portraits.
