Drawing is more than a tool for rendering and capturing likenesses. Learning to draw is about learning to see. Learning to Draw the Figure is an all level studio class with emphasis on visual comprehension while evolving essential drawing practices. Studies will be done mainly in graphite and charcoal to develop confidence and craftsmanship of materials. Students will be exposed to a wide range of drawing strategies and media in an effort to expand their critical analysis of the drawn image.
All levels welcome.

ABOUT THE 2014 TRILOGY CHALLENGE
The Trilogy Challenge is your opportunity to help promote the sport of disc golf. Dynamic Discs, Latitude 64°, and Westside Discs are excited to present this brand new event! Our goal is to gain better visibility of the sport and to get more new players involved. The great thing about the Trilogy Challenge is players get everything they need to play disc golf for only $30!
Players are only allowed to use the three discs they receive in their player pack and if they lose a disc during the round, they must finish the round without it. The Trilogy Challenge is a worldwide event from May 31st to August 22nd that concludes with the Trilogy Öppna in Emporia, Kansas on August 23rd-24th.

FORMAT
The Tournament Director is ultimately the one who decides on the format of the event. The most important aspect of the Trilogy Challenge is to get new players out to play disc golf and to have fun! There may only be one winner prize package, but everyone who attends a Trilogy Challenge walks away with everything they need to play disc golf. The most popular format is one round, best score wins.
