/Classes
In this class I attempt to provide the students with the fundamentals of live drawing to help you overcome the fear and challenge of transforming a 3D image, the model, into a 2D representation, the canvas, and to do it correctly proportionated and with a pleasant composition.
Students will learn to use materials such as graphite pencils, red conte pencils, ink, compressed and vine charcoal to render live models. The class starts with the fundamental steps to draw the figure, including the basic knowledge of materials, drawing medium, papers and surfaces, measuring tools and other skills needed to translate a three dimensional object into a 2 dimensional object. Elements of design and composition are covered in different sessions as well as basic proportions of the human figure. There is always a live model present in the class and students are encouraged to work exclusively from life. Demos are provided often at the start of a new concept or idea for clarification.
This class builds up from the beginning, so drop-ins are not recommended and attendance is required to develop a structured base and to incorporate new concepts.
Time 1:
Tuesday, 2:00-4:00 p.m. Starts Feb. 20th
Time 2:
Saturday 4:00-6:30 p.m.
Starts Feb. 24th

Announcing:The Singing Tree Project "Tree of Compassionate Community"
WAL invites area artists and non-profits to join in the creation of a Singing Tree mural to commemorate and honor those who joined together after Harvey and the floods to aid others and rebuild our community! Our large mural will join 49 others around the world in a virtual Singing Tree Forest. Each tree has been created by a community that has overcome hardship and is unique to their vision. Our own vision is to bring together non-profits and individuals to affirm our commitment to caring for each other and creating a visual reminder of what we can accomplish.
If you...or a group you know...would like to help design or plan for our mural please sign up for the WAL newsletter. We will be meeting over the next few months to decide our directionas an art community! You may learn more about the project, begun by artist Laurie Marshall by visiting her website or visit https://en.wikipedia.
