A Sense of Drawing

Figure Drawing Workshops

2 days of workshops, lectures & demonstrations for artists of all abilities at Syracuse University’s Shaffer Art Building.

Figure Drawing Clinic

For High School Students

April 27, 9 am - 1:30 pm

The college entry process is very competitive. Life drawing is a major element to creating a well rounded college portfolio, and improves chances of acceptance and scholarships.

The clinic includes:

Instruction (2+ hours) on the many aspects of drawing the figure
Lunch on the premises
Critique of work done that morning
Optional portfolio review

Artwork created from observing a live model is invaluable.
