2023 SUMMER PROGRAM
Life Model Drawing
Drawing live models is a common foundational practice in art colleges across the nation. This highly challenging yet rewarding drawing practice is now available at our Fairfax location to high school students and adults for the summer.
Program Details
Portfolio Support & Continuing Education
It is highly educational to draw from models because it teaches students to understand where main directional lines are on a person. This training will help with drawing any other three-dimensional subject matter and further expand attention to live detail. During the summer, students will acquire technical skill in capturing the live model's likeness in movement and pose to depth and perception.
Since art schools look for experience in live model drawing, practicing now before college is highly valuable. Our intimate setting will help students adjust faster to live model drawing and help them prepare for the experience in college making this program perfect for portfolio prep.
Our teacher will train students to improve their observational drawing skills through sketching the live model in varying poses and time frames.
This class is 3 hours each day Monday through Thursday, and will take place at our Fairfax location.
