Title of presentation:  Figure Drawing Workshop

Description of presentation:

Gingher:  I have the go ahead to use the life drawing room for the life drawing session! We are in AC2W in the AC30 building at the south end of campus. I’m attaching a map, and everyone can park in lot F under the solar panels.
I have a full camera setup so while I’m giving the demonstration, it will be projected on the big screen. I’ll also provide handouts.
We will do 1.5 hours on portraits with practice, 1.5 hours on hands with practice, and then a long drawing/painting session for the final three hours with guidance. I want everyone to leave with a piece they are proud of!
Our model is a lovely young woman named Emil. We will have her wear an interesting outfit, and I have props such as flowers, books, a violin, etc., that we can choose from for her to hold.
