Combine your academic pursuits with a meditative art class to help you re-visualise and clarify your vision. It’s about coming back to the drawing board, figuring out how to best express yourself, and finding your unique artistic voice while discovering sketching and mark-making techniques in this beginner-friendly workshop. Immerse yourself in tactile self-expression, exploring texture and storytelling through lines, shapes, and colours. Learn drawing fundamentals like scale and composition to enhance your creativity, and experiment with charcoal, pastels, and more to communicate your feelings and ideas.

**This workshop is facilitated by Art Class with Nila in collaboration with UMSU.

All materials provided. No artistic experience necessary. Come with an open mind and heart and let your creativity take charge. Registration for this event is requested. Please follow the link included. For the love of students.**
