Creativity Takes Courage! -Matisse
Students will engage in drawing and painting exploration that will inspire them to learn about Kandinsky, Thiébaud, Jackson Pollock, Matisse, and other famous artists, as well as finding the creative artist within. Using the tools and techniques of charcoal, pastel, pens and paint media, students will improve their skills and free their artistic expression. We are communicators… We are problem solvers… We are artists!

Black and white is all you need, baby! You will engage in an array of exercises, including cinematography studies and "aleatory" character design that highlight the importance of value, contrast and shape language. All materials provided.

Facilitator: Alla Parsons
Tuesdays from 1-3:30 PM weekly
Tuition: $15 per session

The Tuesday Portrait Drawing Group is a weekly, artist-run, uninstructed drawing session with live models, a supportive group of artists and plenty of creative spirit! Artists are asked to bring their own equipment and supplies. DAC provides tables and chairs, but artists may bring their own easels. The focus of this group session is on capturing the portrait of the clothed model, who will be maintaining the pose for 2.5 hours (with breaks).
