OAK 202
Instructor: James Pitt
Tues., 7:15–10 p.m., September 30–December 9 (no class November 11)
10 sessions. $285. Noncredit. Prerequisite: none
Open to anyone who wants to work on the basics of drawing—from beginners to those who want to get back to drawing with a renewed vision. Through still life, the model, and architecture, participants develop their ability to see and then translate that visual experience into drawing.
With a focus on how to use form, space, and proportions to create a strong composition, staying inspired to draw outside the classroom is also addressed.
Bring to first class: 20" x 26" drawing board with clips, 18" x 24" Biggie Jumbo sketch pad, soft vine charcoal, compressed charcoal (CHAR-KOLE brand), white plastic eraser.
All Hallow’s Eve: The Figure by Candlelight
OAK 204
Instructor: Sydney Cohen
Thurs., 7:15–10 p.m., October 30
1 session. $45. Noncredit. Prerequisite: previous figure-drawing experience
Begin celebrating the Halloween weekend by joining other artists in drawing the figure by candlelight. Students explore the process of working with the low, flickering light of candles to create moody drawings. Participants use ink washes, as well as white on black.
Bring to first class: white chalk, conte, or charcoal; soft vine charcoal and graphite, as desired; black drawing paper; white drawing paper (preferably Bristol); India ink; sumi brushes; three containers for water and ink.
This class also is open to high school students with previous figure-drawing experience.
