(week 2: 2/28/26)
Ever wish your photos looked more interesting, more artistic, or told a better story?
Creative Storytelling with Photos is a fun, hands-on workshop designed to help you see the world like an artist and photograph with intention. It’s not about fancy equipment or technical jargon—it’s about learning how to really see.

Not just look—really see.
The shadows. The patterns. The tiny details.
The unexpected beauty hiding in plain sight.
Each week builds skills and confidence through playful exploration, creative challenges, and guided learning. We’ll wander, notice, experiment, and laugh as you explore new ways of seeing and begin to develop your own visual style.
Whether you shoot with a smartphone or DSLR, you’ll leave with stronger composition skills—and a whole new way of seeing the world around you.

Urban Sketching - Thursday Series (class #1: April 2)
Discover the art of urban sketching in this immersive 6-week Saturday series led by teaching artist Ann Alexander at Vision Arts Gallery in Myrtle Beach.
This beginner-friendly yet skill-building class introduces students to expressive line work, basic perspective, and watercolor techniques while capturing everyday scenes. Students will progress from photo-based sketches to confident on-location drawing, developing a loose, personal sketching style that blends observation with creative expression.
Each week builds upon the last—starting with foundational line and shape, adding watercolor washes, and moving into speed sketching and real-world environments. Indoor studio sessions transition into outdoor and on-location sketching, helping students gain confidence, flexibility, and creative flow.
By the end of the course, students will have a collection of sketches, a deeper understanding of line-and-wash techniques, and the confidence to sketch anywhere—from cafés and city streets to travel adventures and daily life.
All experience levels are welcome. Come ready to explore, observe, and sketch with joy.
