Adult Education Series: Art for the Non-Artist

Can’t even draw a stick figure? Struggle with perfectionism?This isn’t your average art class—it’s a creative empowerment workshop created especially for those who think they can’t draw. You’ll learn to draw with both technical skill and confidence—in just one session. With a single feather as your subject, you’ll learn to slow down and really see—translating its shape and texture into a drawing through focused observation. Each drawing will reflect the individual behind it—created entirely by your own hand, and completed with real technical skill, even if it’s your very first time.

Led by Art Coach and Teaching Artist Jenny Santa Maria, this workshop helps you unlearn the myth of “natural talent” and discover the joy of drawing as a skill that can be taught, learned, and enjoyed. Jenny has guided countless anxious, curious, and discouraged individuals to find joy and confidence through creative expression, bringing her workshops to libraries, art centers, and community spaces across New England.

Whether you’re working through limiting beliefs or simply curious about reconnecting with your creativity, this workshop offers a safe, encouraging space to explore art making as a new language—one that can enrich every part of your life.
