Spring Open Figure Drawing Practice Sessions Offered |
|
| |
Figure Drawing is a time-honored practice of studying the human form as an artistic subject. It engages a professional collaboration between model and art students, in which dynamic poses are held still for various lengths of time in order to capture movement and expression.
Those who practice figure drawing regularly learn the underlying thought and processes that aid in conveying the human form convincingly.
12:30-2:30 p.m.
Fridays: March 23, and April 13 and 27
Art & Design West, Room 2103
The cost is $6 per session or $30 for all six sessions.
Please register in person or online for Open Figure Drawing. Attendees must be 18 or older.
