Doodling is a pastime for young and old alike. Some kids want to turn their doodles into actual drawings. And for them, there is the Drawing People and Animals class. Taught by Emma Wakefield, the class is open to aspiring artists ages 7–17. It will be held Wednesdays, February 5–26, at the Middletown Art Center in Middletown. The four-session series is $80, or a drop-in class is $25. For more information, see middletownartcenter.org.
