Experience our full-time program in a week-long workshop. Choose from morning basic drawing, afternoon life drawing, or both.

Life drawing is at the core of any serious program of fine arts. In the class, students draw from the figure in pencil. Each drawing is created over a period of several sessions, developing the student's eye for accurate proportions, gesture and anatomy.

In this 3-day workshop students will learn the fundamentals of incorporating white chalk into their figurative drawing toolbox. By building light shapes with chalk we are able to explore the planar development of light masses while following the flow of light falling across the figure. Drawing will be done on toned paper, teaching students to identify the middle value range from which to key tonal relationships both up and down the value scale. By the end of the workshop, students will have a stronger understanding of the ever-elusive and incredibly subtle 'mid-value' range.
