Pace and Priority: Mastering the Quick Pose
with Stephen Bush
![Calendar](https://d9j5qtehtodpj.cloudfront.net/images/icons/color-calendar.png?version=205869)
In this workshop, students will work short figure poses to master the quick figure study. Students will learn the value of decision making and how to prioritize those decisions. Working the quick pose will create the opportunity for students to make fast decisions, which will better prepare the student to make intelligent decisions when faced with a longer pose.

Life Drawing & Painting: Sunday Afternoons
with Laura Tundel
![Calendar](https://d9j5qtehtodpj.cloudfront.net/images/icons/color-calendar.png?version=205869)
Life drawing is at the core of any serious program of fine arts. In these classes, students draw from the figure in pencil, charcoal, including an option of painting. Each drawing or painting is created over a period of sessions, developing the student’s eye for accurate gesture, proportions, and anatomy. With a single sustained pose, students will have the option of either taking one drawing/painting to a high degree of finish or completing several drawings from different positions around the model.
Figure Fundamentals
with Bridget Ertelt
![Calendar](https://d9j5qtehtodpj.cloudfront.net/images/icons/color-calendar.png?version=205869)
This new class was designed with your learning in mind. We will talk about all things figure drawing! Students will use graphite pencils to draw the figure. Lecture and demos will accompany drawing time to give the student a strong foundation from which to work. The class information will build systematically. For the first few classes, students will work from a new pose each night with emphasis on accurate proportion and a strong start. Poses will progressively lengthen from 2-4 nights as students learn to render the figure with a step-by-step approach. Topics covered will include gesture, structure, accurate shapes, perspective, and using light and shadow to render form.
Gestural Figure Study
with Christine Mitzuk
![Calendar](https://d9j5qtehtodpj.cloudfront.net/images/icons/color-calendar.png?version=205869)
Breathe life into your figure drawings by building a deeper understanding of gesture. This class blends The Atelier and Studio Arts figure study methods. Christine coaches students through a variety of exercises to explore different ways to see, understand, and capture gesture. By understanding gesture we can incorporate a sense of life into our drawings, tell a story through body language, or exaggerate it for effect. We will be studying gesture from the nude figure. Experimentation of materials will be discussed.

Alla-Prima Figure Study

One-day figure studies
Students will paint a new study each week working from the figure. Working from a new pose each week will give students many opportunities to study gesture, anatomy, proportion, value and color! Instructors will guide the student to achieve a complete figure, starting by drawing and progressing to blocking in with paint while striving for accuracy in proportion. All students will begin in black-and-white value for the first two classes progressing to color based on skill level and student preference. Throughout the class topics to be discussed will include value structure/form, some anatomy, color mixing/ relativity, and understanding temperature. Different exercises will be presented throughout the class to focus on these topics.
