WE WELCOME VISITORS TO SEE WHAT WE ARE DOING! FACULTY AND STUDENTS ALIKE!

AP ARTIST OF THE MONTH:

ABOUT ALEX WHAT DO WE KNOW? SHE LOVES TO make people ask questions about their world and to push their limits of tolerance.

SHE ENJOYS ARTWORK that pushes the envelope of what is acceptable.

ALEX’S CURRENT WORK make people slightly uncomfortable when they look at her images. Her paintings explore aspects of female bodies that may be awkward or unusual. She is working to recreate the “feeling” of human flesh in paint.

Featured class:

LIFE DRAWING Our advanced students have the privilege of working from nude models in Life Drawing class.

Many of the students this year are new to the class and have never drawn from the figure. They start with GESTURE drawings. Gestures are quick studies of the model that help the student to begin to see the figure as a whole system rather than a sum of it’s parts. Seeing the figure this way is one of the best ways to develop a sense of proportion and also to practice choosing interesting compositions. Our students have a big advantage when their portfolios contain figure drawings.
