Tired of endlessly scrolling on your phone? Looking to share art and fun with a child in your life? Why not learn a positive habit of keeping a sketchbook by learning together in four sessions with Sharon Santillo. Participants of all ability levels will begin with basics of sketching or add to their drawing skills, each in their own sketchbook that is about the size of a smartphone. Sharon’s habit of scrolling on her phone was replaced with her trusty sketchbook and she wants to share the fun that an awareness of surroundings, building memories and making marks can add to life. This class is designed for anyone who can hold a pen and sketchbook, and even if you haven’t drawn since childhood, you can do this. Your class fee covers the cost of two sketchbooks and two micron pens to keep, one for adult and one for school-aged child. Additional materials will be shared in class.

Sharon Santillo is a long time art teacher and in 2011 was named Massachusetts Art Educator of the Year. She truly believes we are all artists, that creativity is inherent in what it is to be human. www.familystoriesthroughart.com
