Last week, the Highland Park Arts Commission had the pleasure of hosting a Drawing Class with the Zone 6 HP Teen Center, and they absolutely knocked it out of the park! ✏️🎨

We spent the class working on still-life drawing, and it was amazing to see the creativity, observation, and different artistic styles that came through in everyone’s work. Each student brought their own perspective to the drawings, and we couldn’t be more proud of what they created! And we’re not stopping there! We’ll be continuing our drawing classes for the next two weeks of summer, giving our young artists more opportunities to explore, create, and build their skills.

We’re excited to see what they come up with next! 🖼️✨
