This Workshop is for anyone interested in developing their drawing skills. Whether you are a beginner or advanced student, amateur or professional artist, the results will be beyond your expectations. This workshop is a one-day opportunity to see the benefits of using this system and students will have the opportunity to join an ongoing, in depth class in the Winter. The Charles Bargue Drawing workshop was developed and widely used in the mid-19th century as a foundation exercise for fine art training. Throughout the years, it has been used by many great masters as an essential process in understanding the principles of shape, proportion, value and form. These drawings are more than just exercises; they form a system that prepares students to excel in painting and other artistic pursuits, all of which require the ability to build constructs, identify shapes, understand tonal value ranges, master complex lighting, and render forms. In addition, even though one is working in monochrome, developing one's ability to create strong value is the foundation for every great painting in color. The practicalities of the Bargue approach have a strong bearing on a range of modern disciplines, from animation and visual effects to gaming and tattoo artistry. (Meets in W-6, 607)

Giambattista Tiepolo is known and built his reputation as a master for his large-scale mural paintings on ceilings and walls of villas, palaces or for altarpieces in churches throughout Europe in the first half of the 18th century. Lesser known is his fluid and exciting series of drawings in pen and wash. He did some as preparatory compositions for the murals but he also did many gesture drawings for the fun of drawing. This lesson is to draw from the masters works to gain the idea of gesture, movement and grouping figures and then end by applying your new Tiepolo skill to contemporary images. Lecture, demonstrate and assist. (Meets in W-10)

This course presents options for drawing; from simple outlines to gestures, from grid to composition or from a line to textures, the student learns the basics and expands. Lecture, visuals, discussion, ample time to draw and one on one instruction. All skill levels welcomed. (Meets in W-10)
