It’s a study in drawing

Cora Young of Vicksburg concentrates on shading shapes while drawing instructor Glenda Banta sketches a circle on the blackboard Wednesday during a session of the drawing methodology class at the Southern Cultural Heritage Center. Banta said most people beginning her class say they have no natural talent at drawing. But it’s not all about talent, she said. “There is a method to drawing, and that is what we teach them here,” she said. The class lasts for four sessions, and the students begin by drawing basic shapes and end in drawing a portrait from a photograph. Banta said she plans to offer the class again during the spring.(The Vicksburg Post/C. TOOD SHERMAN)
