Join gifted artist Pat Rouse for this unique opportunity to finally try your hand at drawing -- lovely gardens, tumbling ruins with flowers overgowning the rocks and people -- indigenous Guatemalan women and children in their beautifully handwoven traditoinal 'traje'. Traje is the colorful traditional dress still worn by many indigenous Guatemalans. The colors and patterns of the intricately handwoven blouses, called huipils, not to mention fascinating faces of all ages, will provide rich subject matter for your drawings. Pat begins each class with a short demonstration of a variety of drawing techniques and mediums. However, her main focus is working independently with each student at their own skill level.

Other Activities:

"The goal is to become comfortable enough with what you are doing to become lost in it" according to Pat. Then you can loosen up, gain some confidence. It should be a playful experience. Then, ultimately, you become your own artist - creating and doing what you love to do.
