Uncover Your Hidden

Talent for Drawing

Like reading and writing, drawing is a fundamental life skill. Once an

integral part of a traditional education, knowledge of drawing deepens

your understanding of the visual world that surrounds you. Contrary

to what many people think, the ability to draw does not depend on

innate talent or a unique gift. In fact, you may be amazed at how well

you can learn to draw, especially with the right instructor.

The 36 video lessons of How to Draw offer you dynamic and

comprehensive training in the art of drawing. Your teacher, David

Brody, brings more than forty years of study, studio work, and

dedicated teaching to this course, demonstrating an inspiring teaching

style and limitless insight into the learning process. This brilliantly

designed course takes you step by step through all of the key elements

that together build the integrated skill of drawing. This is your

opportunity to master the primary skill of visual art, an ability with

rewards you will treasure for a lifetime.
