Class Descriptions:

Laurie Brussel

Beginner Drawing:  

This is a 4 week class for individuals who have always been afraid to take a beginner drawing class. It is also for more experienced artists who would like to build their confidence and deepen their artistic perceptions. Laurie will teach you how to shift from your usual analytical processing (left brain mode) to a more creative way of thinking and seeing ( right brain mode). Anyone can draw. It’s just a matter of training your eyes to see.

Please bring a 14 X 17 all purpose pad, HB or #2 pencil, and a kneaded or magic rub eraser to class

Drawing from the Live Model:

The purpose of this class is to teach the student to see and understand the human figure. Drawing from the live model is vital for any artist. It sharpens your seeing skills as you learn to draw the figure which is full of contours and expression. Drawing the human form at rest or in motion is one of the best ways to perfect your observational skills, to learn to express line and mass, and to experiment with different drawing mediums.  You will also be taught proportion, movement, light and shading, among other techniques.
