Is there a story that you feel needs to be told? Perhaps you have an idea for a story that has been rattling around in the back of your mind for weeks, months, or even years and would love to get it out of your head and onto paper. Maybe you simply love reading and would like to start creating stories of your own.

Or maybe you are simply curious as to how writers craft their stories. No matter which category you fall into, this course is for you! Join your instructor, Stephanie Garrity, in learning the basic building blocks of writing short stories, including; setting, point of view, characterization, plot, dialogue, description and style. Bring pens and a notebook and a good dose of imagination. Can’t wait to see you there! *No Class: 2/19.

This class is geared toward those who have had a bit of drawing experience, and would like to hone skills but aren’t starting from square one. If you have taken a beginning drawing class before with me, and want to further expand your skill set this class is for you! We’ll re- visit measuring and value, then dive into more complex drawing concepts. Gesture, narrative, and interior are among topics we’ll explore. We will, at times, abstract from nature and broaden ideas about what a drawing can be. Class work will be a combination of working from observation and springboarding into abstraction. *No Classes: 2/20.
