Intro to Art: Observational Sketching In Partnership with Wounded Warrior Project Some things don&#39;t have words. Art can hold what language can&#39;t. This workshop takes place inside Breaking the Silence, our exhibition of veteran-made work at Oak Park Art League. Instead of walking past the pieces, you&#39;ll sit with them. Professional artist and veteran, Michael Bever will get you started on the basics of observational sketching, then set you loose. From there, the space is yours: choose a piece that pulls you in, find a spot, and sit with it. Just you, a sketchbook, and whatever in the room speaks to you. You&#39;ll learn to look closely, translate what you see onto paper, and work through the exhibition as both viewer and maker. What You&#39;ll Learn:<ul fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;"><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Fundamentals of observational drawing</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Techniques for capturing form, shadow, and composition from a real subject</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">How to sketch quickly and loosely versus slow, detailed studies</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Using the gallery space itself as a working studio</li></ul>No experience necessary.&nbsp; What&#39;s Included: All supplies needed Cost: Free and open to all&nbsp; When: Thursday, August 20, 6:00 &ndash; 8:00 PM Where: Oak Park Art League, 720 Chicago Ave, Oak Park, IL This is a special one-time event, part of our monthly workshop series and held in partnership with Wounded Warrior Project during Breaking the Silence, our veteran art exhibition running through September 6. A special thank you to Wounded Warrior Project for partnering with us on tonight&#39;s event. Two organizations, one shared commitment: standing with veterans and service members, however that looks, on canvas or off. New Century Art Guild transforms veterans&#39; lives through art. By veterans, for veterans.
