THE MONART DRAWING STUDIO

"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once they grow up.”
- Pablo Picasso

Developed in 1979 by Mona Brooks, Monart teaches people how to perceive the visual world in terms of five basic elements of shape. Once people recognize these
elements, they learn how to combine them on a flat piece of paper—to draw what they see. After grasping the core skills, students learn to make their own choices, follow their own creativity, and create their own individual style.
Monart students discover:

  • Everyone can draw.
  • There’s no right or wrong way to draw.
  • You can interpret what you see however you like.
  • You don’t have to like what you draw.
  • You can learn from everything you draw.
  • You can share resources instead of competing with fellow students.
