Academic Figure Drawing & Painting (ages 18+)

Resource person: Alicia Nilo, Education Coordinator

Location: Room 201 | 415 E. Sheridan St, Newberg, OR, 97132

Description:

A basic introduction to the traditional methods of 19th century art academies and ateliers, 
with an emphasis on realistic figure drawing from life. 
Through a clear, step by step approach, students will learn the main working methods taught for centuries in European and American art academies, which stress accurate drawing, proportion, foreshortening and shading. We will also touch on the basics of composition, anatomy and structure as well as the choosing and making of tools and materials.  All the while  looking, analyzing  and learning from the great artists throughout history.
A great course for both beginners and experienced students, which can be applied to a variety of mediums such as oil, acrylic, watercolor, pastel and colored pencil. This class can also be readily applied to computer based graphic novel and comics work.
