Perspective: Sharing the Magic Tricks of Drawing - Connie Tavanis

July 2 – 5
Monday – Thursday
2 – 4pm
5 Sessions
Castle Hill
$350

This class will take you on a wonderful adventure to a place that opens your eyes to the secrets of how to draw things that look as if they jump from your paper.  All you need is a pencil and ruler and "off we go".  Our first stop will be one point perspective (remember how the train is heading towards us down a long track that vanishes to one tiny dot). We will move on to two point perspective and we will turn our imagination up a notch with drawings of our own private worlds and the objects in them using two tiny dots. How? Come and join us this summer and all the secrets of how to draw will be shared.

Connie Tavanis received degrees from Marymount College and Tufts University. She gained 99% of her education while teaching art. She has the most fun teaching the basics. While teaching at the Kennedy Middle School in Woburn she taught all mediums and directed many extracurricular projects. Under her supervision, Kennedy Middle School won awards at the Globe Scholastic Awards, Annual Halloween Parade Floats, and the Massachusetts Middle School Art Awards. She is always willing to help with school projects and make her students aware of their school not only as a community in itself but as a member of the larger community.
