Join Lynda For An Observational Drawing Demo Class!

Get ready to step into a real creative aging class! In this digestible, hands-on seminar, Lifetime Arts Trainer and teaching artist Lynda Monick-Isenberg will lead participants through a live demonstration class on observational drawing, designed with older adult learning principles in mind.

Through engaging exercises in mark-making, contour drawing, and reflection, you’ll discover drawing as an accessible, expressive skill. Along the way, Lynda will model the teaching strategies that spark creativity, confidence, and connection in older adult learners. The session concludes with a live Q&A.
