Fall Drawing Workshop: "Drawing From Life"

Fall Drawing Workshop: ‘Drawing from Life’
Herbst Zeichen-Workshop: ‘Zeichnen von Leben’

Starts October 10

Mira O’Brien, Instructor

This course introduces basic techniques in drawing, with a focus on drawing from observation. Exercises explore technique, medium and strategies in visual thinking. The course will be tailored around the interests and levels of the individual students.

Each class is structured around a formal topic, with examples from art-history and a brief discussion. We will build technique through a series of guided exercises, followed by time for experimentation and longer drawings. We will draw from a live model and from still life creations.

We will make several excursions to draw out in the field, including the ready-made still lives of Berlin’s Natural History Museum, the statues in the Pergamon Museum, and a plein air site.
