Drawing into Painting:
Reconfigure the Figure

  • Teacher: Fran O’Neill
  • Course Length: 8 Week Class Session
  • Start Date: Wednesdays, begins October 9
  • Time: 6:00 – 9:00 pm PDT

Think about how the setting can completely change the mood and story of a figure. What happens when you take a figure out of its usual context and place it in an entirely different environment—say, a historical scene or an imagined space? This is where the art of storytelling through painting happens, and it’s used by many great painters from Manet to Frida Kahlo. Learning to re-contextualize figures not only enhances your ability to convey narrative and emotion in your work but it also challenges your creativity, pushing you to think beyond the obvious.

In this “Drawing into Painting: Reconfigure” course, you’ll spend 8 weeks exploring how to place life model figures in various spaces—whether real, imagined, or historical—through drawing and painting.

We start with drawing and collage in the first two weeks. You’ll use historical artworks and zoom models to create new poses and compositions, experimenting with shapes, lines, and mark-making to deconstruct and rebuild your images.

In weeks three and four, the focus shifts to painting. You’ll take your drawings further, developing them into more dynamic and unexpected images. The idea is to see how one image can evolve into the next, making the process of creating art an ongoing exploration.

Weeks five and six challenge you to translate your own photos into paintings, addressing the complexities that come with this process. You’ll work on rethinking and recreating your work to discover new ways of expressing your ideas.

The final two weeks are dedicated to personal development. You’ll have the opportunity to explore your own ideas and imagery, using the techniques you’ve learned to create final compositions that reflect your individual style. This course is suitable for anyone interested in art, whether you’re a beginner or an experienced artist looking for new perspectives.

There will be one:one discussion of the work throughout class, as well as group critiques.

Drawing for Busy People

  • Teacher: Carolina Brunet (speaks Spanish & English)
  • Class Length: 8 Weeks
  • Days: Wednesday, beginning October 23
  • Time: 7:00-8:30 pm PST

Too busy to take a class? Not anymore!

Drawing is a great way to focus and relax the mind. While many art classes take space and time to get set up, create, then clean up, it only takes a few minutes to grab a pencil and draw, and you can do it anywhere!

We’ve modified our beginning drawing course to give you the basics of line, form, tone, proportion, composition, gesture, movement, and expression. This is a drawing class designed to allow you to sample a wide variety of artistic styles and approaches, so that you can develop your observational skills while also discovering your own personal voice. Even by drawing for 10 minutes a day, you will gain greater confidence in your abilities, and deepen your artistic perception, as well as fostering a new appreciation for the world around you.

We will work from observation (looking at stuff) and work with various styles and approaches for discovery, exploration, and expression. There will be homework, but if the only time you have to draw is during this class, you will be fine.

NO PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE NECESSARY. This beginning drawing class is a great primer for figure drawing, beginning painting, printmaking, or anyone who wants to get past the intimidation factor of drawing and increase their basic skills.

Suggested Materials:

Bring what you have. The list below is suggested, but not necessary. Pencil and paper will always be fabulous.

  • Soft Willow Charcoal
  • Pencils: HB and 6B or 8B
  • Charcoal pencil: 6B or 8B / soft or super soft
  • Strathmore 300 series drawing pad (yellow pad with top spiral bind, product code 340-318). At the school studio we use 18×24″ but home studios can be a bit less spacious. Get the largest size your work station will accommodate. 14×17″ is great.
  • Newsprint. Get the largest size your work station will accommodate.
  • Drawing board may be helpful to hold paper at an angle while you sit at a desk
  • White vinyl/plastic eraser
  • Chamois cloth- small
  • Pencil sharpener

Optional:

  • Conte stick – brown or black
  • Sketchbook (optional)
  • Large kneaded eraser (optional)
  • Pens
