The Artist Elite Academy



The Artist Elite Academy will be run its first session on Thursday, February 6th from 7-10 (Location will be announced at a later time)  The first session will be learning how to draw on a tablet.  This choice of the medium means no mess and can be done anywhere and allows the transfer of any past drawing or painting skills.  This is currently the choice of Dr. Darren Cannell who was an art teacher for 20 years in his past life and is an award-winning tablet drawing artist who has published three books on how to paint on a tablet.   The session will require artists to have an iPad (tablet or phone of some sort), sketchbook pro app and a stylus.  This session is for all ages and all skill levels.  It is a great chance to see if your sports brain is also your art brain.

In elite sportspeople, the brain processes for rapidly perceiving information specific to their sport, such as the movement of an opponent or the trajectory of a rapidly approaching ball, and making the correct movement, are (thanks to many hours of practice) very highly developed

What side of the brain is used for Art?

It's the right side as well that deals with creativity and art.
