Come join us and learn about these amazing fantasy creatures and how to draw them. Dragons can be friendly or sinister, beautiful or ugly, but they’re always magical. First we’ll learn about dragons and examine them with artist eyes. Then art teacher Christine Thornton will demonstrate how to draw a dragon, and you’ll create your own with lots of resources to guide you. This online class includes an instructional video, and a virtual space to share and connect with the teacher and classmates.
