Thirteen-year-old Amber Fabian took a line-drawing class last week at the Taube Museum of Art because she has big dreams. “I want to do it for a living,” said Amber, one of about a dozen kids who were taking the class from Nancy Brown, executive director at the Taube Museum of Art. Brown started out with a simple line-drawing exercise, showing the young students how to shade a drawing to add dimension. Amber is a big fan of manga, a Japanese animated art form, and has tried her hand at creating her own. “I do a lot of fan-fiction,” she said, bent intently over her notebook. Other kids in the class signed up for the class because it sounded like a lot of fun. Brown said it can also be educational. Participants are guided by the bright, colorful drawings on the cement floor and the walls in the museum basement, as well as by Brown herself. The Taube Museum of Art offers a variety of art classes throughout the summer.
