Jim Leggitt offers half-day and full-day on campus drawing workshops to universities throughout the United States. His typical collegiate program includes a short introductory PowerPoint show followed by a series of “hands-on” drawing exercises catered to the specific needs of the college’s academic program. Students and teachers draw along with Jim as he demonstrates his drawing techniques that are filmed and projected from an overhead video system. Leggitt provides all of the workshop AV equipment, handouts and drawing exercises.  Universities provide the basic drawing supplies such as trace paper, color markers, colored pencils and pens. Workshops are typically held in the largest conference room or studio within the school. Some schools have scheduled a lecture by Jim Leggitt for the greater student body to attend and have then offered the drawing workshop to the smaller design studio groups. In some instances, Jim will offer a full-day workshop to one design studio and repeat the program the next day for another studio.

Contact Jim Leggitt if you are interested in taking this exciting one-day or two-day drawing workshop at your university. if you are interested in organizing a workshop, he will advise you on what workshop format might best fit with your school’s size and visualization goals.
