3. “Drawing and Painting” ? • Drawing and Painting includes, but doesn’t restrict only to Drawing and Painting. • You will be asked to challenge yourself to look at the world through an artistic point of view. • Give yourself a chance to think about art outside of the classroom. • Be excited about the possibilities of what art can do for you now and in the future.
