Name: Sketch or Draw at Biosphere II In-Person Meetup!
Start: 2024-07-13T16:30:00.000Z
End: 2024-07-13T18:30:00.000Z
Location: Biosphere 2

This 3-hour session is a challenge for anyone who wants to practice or improve their 2D visual art skills within a community setting virtually (live online).

**WHY?**
Art challenges generally involve a commitment from any beginner, intermediate, or artist to complete a work or exercise outside their comfort zone.

**WHAT?**
We will all work from the same reference material (chosen by a volunteer delegated in last month's session). The person who picked the images will briefly overview the reference material.

We will provide some essential drawing tips on how to approach the subject. Please recognize that the subject may be outside your comfort zone and attempt to push through, continue, and practice with us.

Please be respectful if you don't like the reference material. Facilitating these challenges for artistic growth takes a lot of work.

If you decide to quit or dislike the reference material, please dismiss yourself by leaving a note on the chat or exit without disrupting the group.

**WHO?**
Art Verve Academy instructors facilitate this meetup. Anyone with any skill level is welcome to join us. If anyone wants feedback or help, please ask. We are here to help.
