Artistic Anatomy Course

Instructor: Katie Hogan (@katie.hogan.art)

  • 8 Thursdays

  • 6 - 8:30 pm

  • January 15th - March 5th

This 8 week artistic anatomy course is designed for people who want to learn about drawing the figure through the lens of artistic anatomy. Artistic anatomy is the study of anatomy crucial to the artist when depicting the human form, developing an understanding of underlying musculature and bone structures that inform the outward appearance of the figure. Each week, students will focus on a different part of the body, studying the torso, pelvis, shoulder girdle, etc individually, and combining it all together at the end. 

Some familiarity with drawing the human form is helpful, but not required. Each week will start with a lecture, followed by drawing from a live model. There will be take-home practices and studies provided, but not required. We will cover the fundamentals of artistic anatomy, giving each student a solid introduction to the structural anatomy and proportion needed to draw the human form. Demonstrations and individualized feedback guide students through the course.

During this 8 week, beginner friendly course, students will gradually build toward dynamic sketching. 

The class will begin with gathering gesture, mapping values, and achieving “an eye” for capturing the realistic figure. Model poses will gradually incorporate items of foreshortening and relational perspectives. There will be a live (clothed) model for the first 2 weeks, and well as the final 3 weeks of class.

Students will have several at home exercises to apply techniques outside of class. 

By the end of this course, students will have developed strengths in drawing from life, a strong relationship to materials, and a deeper understanding of the realistic form.

In the children’s game of musical chairs, everyone stands up, walks around a circle, and then sits in a different chair than the one they started in. Have you ever wondered what it’d be like to do that with our easels?

Join us for a fun, low-stakes event where we’ll engage in an artistic take on musical chairs. Everyone will swap drawings at set times throughout the evening, ensuring we all get a chance to have our hand in all pieces. It’s an opportunity to get outside your comfort zone, be playful, and enjoy camaraderie with other artists. No matter what, it’s sure to be fun, unpredictable, and memorable!

To keep things simple, we ask all participants to use drawing media on paper–graphite, charcoal, colored pencil, pen and ink, marker, and pastel are all welcome.

Dynamic Drawing for Teens

Instructor: Ciel Skål (@cielskal)

  • 8 Thursdays

  • January 22nd - March 12th

  • 4:45pm - 6:00 pm

During this 8 week, beginner friendly course, students will gradually build toward dynamic sketching. 

The class will begin with gathering gesture, mapping values, and achieving “an eye” for capturing the realistic figure. Model poses will gradually incorporate items of foreshortening and relational perspectives. There will be a live (clothed) model for the first 2 weeks, and well as the final 3 weeks of class.

Students will have several at home exercises to apply techniques outside of class. 

By the end of this course, students will have developed strengths in drawing from life, a strong relationship to materials, and a deeper understanding of the realistic form.

Artistic Anatomy Course

Instructor: Katie Hogan (@katie.hogan.art)

  • 8 Thursdays

  • 6 - 8:30 pm

  • January 15th - March 5th

This 8 week artistic anatomy course is designed for people who want to learn about drawing the figure through the lens of artistic anatomy. Artistic anatomy is the study of anatomy crucial to the artist when depicting the human form, developing an understanding of underlying musculature and bone structures that inform the outward appearance of the figure. Each week, students will focus on a different part of the body, studying the torso, pelvis, shoulder girdle, etc individually, and combining it all together at the end. 

Some familiarity with drawing the human form is helpful, but not required. Each week will start with a lecture, followed by drawing from a live model. There will be take-home practices and studies provided, but not required. We will cover the fundamentals of artistic anatomy, giving each student a solid introduction to the structural anatomy and proportion needed to draw the human form. Demonstrations and individualized feedback guide students through the course.

  • 6:00pm - 8:30pm

In the children’s game of musical chairs, everyone stands up, walks around a circle, and then sits in a different chair than the one they started in. Have you ever wondered what it’d be like to do that with our easels?

Join us for a fun, low-stakes event where we’ll engage in an artistic take on musical chairs. Everyone will swap drawings at set times throughout the evening, ensuring we all get a chance to have our hand in all pieces. It’s an opportunity to get outside your comfort zone, be playful, and enjoy camaraderie with other artists. No matter what, it’s sure to be fun, unpredictable, and memorable!

To keep things simple, we ask all participants to use drawing media on paper–graphite, charcoal, colored pencil, pen and ink, marker, and pastel are all welcome.

A successful portrait begins with a solid understanding of the underlying anatomical structures. In this workshop, attendees will learn about the structure of the skull, facial muscles and forms of the facial features. Through a combination of lecture, studies, and drawing from a model, students will leave with greater knowledge of how these key underlying structures inform the likeness and rendering of a portrait.

As the class moves on, students will have the freedom to explore their preferred palettes, oil painting mediums, and styles in a guided environment. This class will be a good introduction for students who are new to oil painting, but it also has a lot to offer for experienced painters looking to practice their observational painting and portrait painting skills.

In this mini-workshop, students will learn a clear, step-by-step approach to ensure that their drawings and paintings look like the model every single time. The linear drawing of the placements / proportions / gesture / perspective can be very challenging, but we don’t need to cross our fingers and leave it up to chance. With this straightforward system, students will learn a foolproof method that will ensure accuracy, confidence, and speed in their pursuit of a linear drawing that looks and feels just like the model before moving in with value or color. Workshop will include exercises with two different models, and the workshop price includes model fees.

Did you know you can use soft pastels (aka chalk pastels) with watercolors, acrylic paints, colored pencils, and even collage? In this experimental workshop, we’ll explore ways you can take your work further by adding soft pastels to your favorite medium—or shaking up your pastel art by adding something new! With plenty of hands-on time to play, experiment, ask questions, and get feedback, we’ll cover: 

  • Getting your pastel drawing wet (!) for interesting effects

  • Using watercolors or acrylics as an underpainting for pastels (or OVER pastels for mixing and blending) 

  • Using acrylic grounds to help you layer pastels over collage elements

  • Using soft pastels with other dry media, such as charcoal, graphite, and colored pencils

Hands and feet can be some of the trickiest body parts for artists–and with more than 2 dozen bones and muscles in each one, it’s no wonder! Yet these complex appendages can say a lot, and gaining confidence depicting them can add greatly to your portraits and figures. In this workshop, we’ll discuss the anatomy of the hands and feet, how to simplify and depict their structures, and how to use them to create gesture and movement in your work. We’ll practice using photos and plaster casts plus spend time drawing from a live model.
