Drawing
Diya Suri ‘23
Figure Drawing
The human figure is the basis of all creative expression. Working from the live model, students will learn to “see” and evaluate anatomy through relationship, perspective, light and shadow and negative space. Students will progress from superficial vision to the interpretation of the human form through the use of all media including charcoal, pastel, ink, watercolor and oil paint. Figure drawing class consists of gestures, short studies and long poses.
Still Life Drawing
Learning about light, volume, depth, perspective, luminosity and composition while drawing from observation is extremely rewarding and valuable to one’s creative education. Students choose from the Studio’s still life and will be instructed beginning with thumbnail composition studies to a large-scale drawing with charcoal and pastels.
Painting
Natalia Mondale ‘24
Students begin with compositional thumbnail sketches of a still life of their choosing. A drawing is developed on a larger scale from direct observation. Students are taught individually starting with the technicalities of the application of oil paint and an analysis of color. Students are instructed how to create dimension through value, perspective, composition and form.
Sculpture
Michael Wong ‘20
Students are introduced to three dimensional form through the human form. Sculpture classes start with a basic head in clay. By creating a bust, self portrait or a figurative sculpture, students master form and structure and discover how to portray lights and darks in clay. All media including clay, wax, stone, wood, plaster, metal and found objects are encouraged and explored. While students are working on their own projects, individual instruction covers methods and tools with special emphasis on conceptual development.
Casting
The traditional art of casting in plaster is taught individually or in a group. Using the waste mold plaster casting process, students will create a permanent plaster sculpture of their original form. This class offers our young students the unique opportunity to learn an advanced process that is taught in college.
