Graphite Powder Drawing
We welcome artist Gretchen Woodman who will be teaching Graphite Powder Drawing (SA 13), a medium I have longed to learn. The technique of painting with graphite powder (no medium necessary) provides ways to create soft, beautiful images with photographic accuracy (if desired).
Bronze Casting- Organic Burn Out
Have you been holding on to a beautiful tree branch or a pet fish you have saved in the freezer for just the right moment?

(Painter and lithographer Charles Bargue, in collaboration with Jean-Leon Gerome, published 197 lithographs as a guide to students working from plaster casts.)

Drawing the Figure with Sydney Bella Sparrow (SA 9)
Working on several poses throughout the semester, students will start with a linear block-in and move forward to a finished, 3-dimensional figure with full values and form. Gesture, proportion, comparative measurement, and building volume are taught along with demos, problem-solving, and discussion. The focus will be to create figure drawings that demonstrate both anatomical accuracy and sensitivity to line work and composition.
