Cast Drawing • Camie Davis
June 2 - 12 (9 days)

This Cast Drawing workshop will focus on enabling artists to think sculpturally while modeling their drawings, a method that encourages a three dimensional understanding of the cast as opposed to a two dimensional copying of values. The result is a deeper and more accurate understanding of the cast that can also translate into a deeper understanding of any subject and results in drawings that are more true to life.

Figure Drawing, Long and Short Pose • Jon DeMartin
July 21 - 25 (5 days)

The first half of each session will be dedicated to short pose drawing. The objective is to seize the figure quickly and vigorously to capture the rhythmic action of the pose and to acquire knowledge of its construction. The second half of the session will be a long pose drawing that will carry over for the week. The objective is to make a thorough study of the model’s character by carefully observing the shape and value gradations. We will analyze the differences and the similarities of the two approaches of drawing and why they are necessary for a well-rounded understanding of the figure.
