Fill The Whole Page With Your Drawing
February 2 at Morgan Memorial
This month, we’ll be learning how to maximize the space our paper gives us to create art. Often times we leave a lot of empty space in our artwork. Not this time! Starting with small squares of paper and then gradually working up to a full sheet of 8 1/2 x 11, you’ll be taking home sheets of paper with little to no underutilized space. Let’s get drawing!
