Description
About the Program:
Discover the world of urban sketching—drawing the city directly on location! This one-week course is designed for children and teenagers aged 10–13 or 13–15 (or mixed groups). You’ll learn to capture the atmosphere of the city, the life of its people, and interesting places from your own perspective. The course combines short theory sessions, practical exercises in the classroom, and most importantly, outdoor sketching in Brno and its surroundings. Everything is integrated with English—language is a natural part of the entire program.
