Join us at the Art Cart for free workshops all summer long.

At this class, students will create expressive gesture drawings using rapid, fluid lines and shapes inspired by Liu Shiming's works, such as Farm Woman Vendor, Mother and Child at the Station, and Grandmother's Pekinese Dogs. The lesson will emphasize conveying the human form, spirit, and essence, focusing on emotional expression and simplicity rather than detailed realism.
