SUMMARY:Neurographic Art
DESCRIPTION:Neurographic Art\nAges: 16+ \nTeacher: Debbie Southard \nDate: Saturday\, August 8\, 2-4 pm \nDuration: 2 Hours \nCost: $20 \nSlow down and let your pen wander in this meditative drawing workshop. Neurographic art is an intuitive technique that transforms thoughts and feelings into flowing\, organic line work — no drawing experience required. \nWith Debbie Southard guiding the process\, you’ll learn how to draw a neurographic line\, round its intersections\, and build color and shading into the shapes that emerge. \nIt’s part art class\, part mindfulness practice — a relaxing way to spend a Saturday afternoon while creating a piece that’s uniquely reflective of you. \n
