Program On Basic Drawing Techniques At C. H. Booth Library

Newtown artist Suzanne Lang returns to the C.H. Booth Library this summer to lead a workshop in Basic Drawing Techniques for rising grades 5 through 12, ages 10 and up. The program will be held Friday, July 10, from 12:30 to 2:30 pm, and is limited to 15 students who either live or attend school in Newtown. A $5 supply fee will be charged, payable at the program. Signups are required online at chboothlibrary.org. 

The two-hour workshop will include exploration of line, shading techniques, and information about the tools being used. Students will learn different drawing techniques, how to use the tools properly, and how to really look at what they are drawing.

Pencils in a variety of weights, charcoal pencils and quality drawing paper will be provided. Young artists will use professional-grade materials in this workshop.
