Discover how a 19th-century drawing course -- taken by artists like Vincent Van Gogh and Pablo Picasso -- can elevate your own skills! Using Charles Bargue's iconic plates and figure drawings as reference, learn how to replicate complex images onto paper with charcoal, focusing on proportion, perspective and value. You'll render with precision, capture subtle details of the human form, and achieve lifelike accuracy in your drawings!

Explore the intersection of art and nature! Take this opportunity to experiment with different techniques and materials -- such as mono-printing and incorporating natural elements directly into your works of art. In this class, you'll endeavor to slow down, connect with the environment, and use nature's lively palette to refine your personal style.

Join us for an introductory dive into the world of the "Artist Archetype" -- the timeless pattern of creative behavior that has shaped human expression throughout history. Uncover the strengths and blind spots of the artist within you, and examine how this shapes your creative journey. Together, we'll each use mixed media collage techniques to create a visual representation of our Archetype or unique "Artist" identity.
