Redefine "screen time" by learning intuitive doodling and diaristic approaches to drawing with a digital tablet and a stylus. This course explores the ease of drawing freely on digital programs and the benefits of this practice: It’s a calming way to process your thoughts and access your creativity without the pressure of using physical materials. In this class you will be encouraged to complete short daily drawings that explore open-ended weekly prompts. The topics of these prompts may include depictions of your surroundings, self-reflective narratives or dream-like ideation. A curated selection of guided meditations and podcasts related to the weekly prompt will be recommended as a supplement to your drawing sessions. The course enables you to share your doodles with each other and witness a diversity of responses to the same assignment. With its emphasis on process over product, this class is perfect for anyone--even if you think you can't draw.
