Drawing Workshops with Diane Elliott

Amongst our exciting workshops we are lucky to have Diane Elliott's drawing workshops. Please find below all information about Diane, who is also the Developmental Manager of the Aberdeen Waldorf School.

Diane Elliott -

Qualified Instructor for 'Drawing From The Right Side Of The Brain'

I had founded a school in Los Angeles (British American School) and was eager to find an excellent drawing class for the students. I had read about the success of the Betty Edwards drawing course and decided to try the course before introducing it to the school.

I completed the course at OTIS College of Art and Design in Los Angeles, and studied under Linda Jo Russel, a member of the original group who developed the program with Betty Edwards.

The drawing course is a step-by-step process specifically designed for individuals who have never drawn before. The fundamental premise is that anybody can learn to draw really well if provided with the right guidance.

Throughout the process, students develop their perceptual skills through exercised focusing on contour, line, positive/negative, space, sighting and light/shadow relationships.

I have delivered the course to older children and adults over the past 3 years. Without exception, everyone who has completed the course enjoys it and feels their drawing skills have really improved.

Our program for the exhibition is now out and it is packed with many exciting events from workshops to demonstrations and talks. Please check the NEOS Program for full details!
