One Saturday Afternoon of the Month 1:00PM – 3:30PM

Also called Life Drawing, live figure classes involve a nude model. Without clothes the model can be rendered in a timeless fashion. Stripped of culture and place in time, there is no difference between those figures drawn today and those created in a Renaissance classroom. The nude figure, depending on pose and artistic skill, can suggest every aspect of humanity from the pathetic to the narcissistic or heroic. When you attend a figure drawing class, you are participating in a tradition that is hundreds, possibly thousands of years old. Students render their own artwork, there is no instruction during these sessions. Typically, the model will provide five -5-minute poses for warm-up, and then one or two long poses (1-2 hrs.).
A minimum of 4 students must be registered by Saturday, Jan. 11, in order to cover the model fees and hold the class.
