Drawing Together Art Classes Focus!


Expression! Empowerment! Drawing Together is an internationally acclaimed arts program, based on the drawing methods developed over 25 years ago by artist and author Mona Brookes called the Monart® method. These methods were developed around the premise that drawing is a teachable subject, much like learning to read or write. Anyone can learn to draw through Mona’s progressive drawing curriculum. This Drawing Method enhances concentration; promotes problem-solving skills; encourages respect for others; and increases self-confidence and self-esteem. These benefits have been proven to transfer into other areas of systemic learning. Email sheilageiger@sbcglobal.net.
