Figure Drawing Tuesday/Thursday 11:30 a.m.

Join us for a new way to exercise your brain. According to a study conducted by Newcastle University in England*, figure

drawing for three hours a week over a two month period improved performance on a battery of mental abilities tests including

memory, far better than vigorous walking or doing word puzzles for the same amount of time. No experience in art classes? No

matter! The focus of the class will be brain exercise, not improved drawing ability. But don't be surprised if that happens, too!

Some classes will have live models. *http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-33505017. Sign Up in Orange Binder. Twice a Week
