Live Model Drawing

How to Register

Summer Drawing Workshop for High School Students

Drawing humans is one of the most challenging things for many artists. For any high schooler thinking about art school, being able to draw live models is an excellent skill to have before going to college. Many art schools require students to have experience with model and figure drawing. As your high schooler thoughtfully puts together their college art portfolio, art school admissions officers love to see examples of model drawings. 


College art portfolio preparation is just one of the big reasons why your high schooler should spend two weeks of their summer drawing live models. Model drawing helps your future art major to focus their attention, further develop their hand-eye coordination, and gain experience in artistic techniques like shading and contouring. 


Your high schooler will have the opportunity to draw both clothed (open to rising 8th-12th graders) and nude models (open to all rising 10th graders and above) in different poses, which is a great way to practice drawing real people from various perspectives. Our Live Model Drawing workshop at our Vienna location is a small class, which allows your teen to learn how to draw live models in a more relaxed setting.
