Join Greg Lendeck for this drawing class in which participants will create a large-scale artwork composed of three overlapping contour line drawings using different colored pencils. This layered approach challenges observational skills while encouraging thoughtful decision-making throughout the process. The project concludes with the addition of value and contrast, transforming the drawing into a bold, dimensional composition that explores both form and negative space.

About the Instructor:
Greg Lendeck is a sculptor, mixed-media artist, and arts educator whose practice blends traditional studio methods with intuitive experimentation. His work spans sculpture, installation, metalwork, ceramics, foundry casting, mixed media, and digital media, and has been exhibited in galleries, community spaces, and public installations across the U.S. and internationally. Lendeck creates work that merges material and conceptual exploration with a personal cosmology, connecting people to place, memory, and ecology. Each piece evolves from an intuitive process into a larger non-linear narrative that explores the intersections of nature, science, and human experience. While materials vary, his art is visually and thematically connected, often intertwining natural elements with human-made structures and occasional figures representing broader ideas. Every work carries a story that extends beyond immediate awareness, inviting reflection and interaction. Through his studio practice and teaching, Lendeck strives to create environments that encourage experimentation, dialogue, and a deeper understanding of the relationships between materials, concepts, and artistic problem solving. His goal as both artist and educator is to inspire curiosity, creativity, and meaningful engagement with art as a dynamic, participatory experience.
