Lunchtime Drawing as Meditation
Take a break from your day, sit with paper, pencil, model, and soft music as the instructor guides you through an hour (or 2!) of meditative drawing. DaM is using the activity of drawing from a model to focus one's mind, and allow daily anxieties to drop away in a supportive, warm, artistic environment. The instructor is there to remind you to experience the process rather than worry about the product of your drawing, to have compassion for yourself as you observe and record your perceptions on paper.

Learn to Draw from the European Masters - by liran hu
THE HISTORY OF WESTERN ART SINCE THE EARLY RENAISSANCE HAS OFTEN BEEN DESCRIBED AS A SERIES OF TECHNICAL AND STYLISTIC BREAKTHROUGHS, AS WELL AS REBELLIONS THAT CHALLENGED THE OLD CULTURAL AND INSTITUTIONAL ORTHODOXIES. LOOKING MORE CLOSELY, HOWEVER, SHOWS US THAT THE BULK OF THESE ARTISTIC ACHIEVEMENTS WERE PROPELLED BY APPRENTICES COPYING FROM THE MASTERS, AND THEN INCORPORATING THE KNOWLEDGE INTO THEIR STYLISTIC INNOVATIONS. THIS COURSE REJUVENATES THE EXPERIENCE OF COPYING FROM MASTERS THAT WAS COMMON IN EARLIER TIMES, USING A RANGE OF STYLES AND TECHNIQUES FROM CLASSICAL PAINTERS DATING FROM THE RENAISSANCE TO THE LATE 19TH CENTURY ON PAPER, PANEL, AND CANVASES. WE WILL UTILIZE HIGH QUALITY REPRODUCTIONS AS WELL AS FINE PLASTER CASTS AS TOOLS FOR INSTRUCTION. ASIDE FROM OUR FOCUS ON WESTERN CLASSICISM, NON-WESTERN EXAMPLES WILL ALSO BE INTRODUCED TO BROADEN THE UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT CLASSICAL PRACTICE CAN MEAN FROM OTHER CULTURAL PERSPECTIVES. THE CURRICULUM WILL BE ENRICHED WITH SHORT TALKS ON ART HISTORY. THIS COURSE WELCOMES ALL WHO ARE INTERESTED: WHETHER YOU ARE AN AMATEUR HOBBYIST LOOKING FOR A FUN EVENING WITH FELLOW ARTISTS, AN ART STUDENT HOPING TO SHARPEN YOUR SKILLS WITH THE FIGURE, OR JUST SOMEONE WHO LOVES ART HISTORY AND WISHES TO ENGAGE IT HANDS-ON.
