Drawing Class Offered

    The Janice Mason Art Museum is offering a brand new class of basic drawing.  Paula Lisowsky, an artist and the new president of the Janice Mason Art Museum Board of directors, will lead this class.  Many people are intimidated by the idea of a drawing class, but Paula Lisowsky said that, "If you can write your name, you can learn to draw by this technique."  The method to be used in the class is based on the book "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" by Betty Edwards.

    The class will meet from 6:00 to 9:00 PM beginning July 16 for six sessions at the museum.  The fee for the class is $40.00 for museum members and $50.00  for non-members and includes the cost of the Edward's book which will be furnished.  Materials participants will need to bring to class are 2 or more #2 pencils, 1 pencil sharpener, 1 white plastic or "pink pearl" type eraser, and 1 drawing pad no smaller then 8-1/2 by 11 inches, but 14 bye 17 inches would be better.

    If you are interested in enrolling for the class please call the Janice Mason Art Museum at 522-9056 by July 12.  The museum is open from 10 to 4 Monday through Saturday, 1 till 4 on Sunday, and closed on Wednesdays.
