Academy Classes

  • Intermediate Drawing

    Advance your drawing skills with a detailed study of light, value, and form while working with your choice of graphite, charcoal, or pastel. Through hands-on demonstrations and discussions students learn how to see and interpret value. The course is self-paced, but guides sudents through a series of projects to strenghten their drawing skills.

    This course meets Monday mornings from 9am-noon, or Tuesday evenings from 6-8pm.

  • Advanced Drawing

    Rendering detailed representational work is a labor-intensive and painstaking process! We offer this course to seasoned artists, or students who have completed a prior workshop or intermediate drawing sessions.

    This course is self-paced with students working on independent concepts of their interest under the guidance of skilled instructors. The class focuses on reinforcing the study of facial structure, assessing accurate values, while offering tips and tricks for creating fine detail in highly realist work.

    Grow your skills and join our advanced drawing group to create work in an encouraging and inspiring atmosphere!

    This course meets Tuesday mornings from 9am-noon.
