Urban sketching focuses on drawing directly from observation in real-world settings. Students work building accuracy, spatial awareness, and confidence in observational drawing. This workshop is well suited for high school students preparing college art portfolios, particularly those interested in art, architecture, engineering, or interior design. Emphasis is placed on structural drawing, perspective, and translating complex outdoor scenes into clear, well-organized compositions.
Seating is limited to only 13 students, so make sure to reserve your high schooler’s spot today!
Dynamic Drawing Improves Problem-Solving Skills and More!
Drawing in a dynamic public space with ever-changing subjects and scenery fosters quick decision making, time-management and adaptability. Ultimately, this cultivates problem-solving skills, reduces procrastination and increases productivity.
Detailed Instructions & Real Time Feedback
Our instructor will guide you on how to form an analysis of the space and capture the composition quickly, giving real time feedback and critique throughout all drawing sessions.
Interesting Locations
Our curated locations offer opportunities to draw open and unique areas with dynamic structure and perspective, catered to the criteria sought by art admissions. Students can potentially use their pieces for their portfolio. Our locations are also carefully chosen with consideration to comfort and weather throughout the workshop.
Transportation Isn't A Hassle!
Parents will drop students off/pick up at our VIENNA location. We will provide transportation for our students to and from the drawing locations.
