Drawing with Chris Toepfer

Saturday Morning Art Class

Marshall J. Gardner Center For The Arts

Open to artists and aspiring artists of all abilities! The class will start with a series of exercises that help overcome some of the barriers to good drawing and art-making with each class building on the preceding class. We will start in the studio and, weather permitting, move outside. Each student will receive a sketchpad and drawing pencils. The class is open to all artists 12 and up — children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. $20 class fee donation.

Chris Toepfer is an artist and Miller resident who runs a not for profit dedicated to neighborhood revitalization and community art (www.tnfamerica.com). He received his MFA in painting and drawing from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2012.

Made possible by generous support of the Miller Community Fund
