Still @ the centre, a place in which to… create and learn
Our delightful program of ongoing art classes has started again with the addition of a drawing class…. YES, at last, it’s back!
- Monday 10am – 1pm Face to Face
with MICHELLE DAWSON
This class will use portraiture as a means to play with a variety of drawing techniques and exercises designed to enhance and broaden the participants’ individual mark-making techniques and skills base. The ultimate intention being to create portraits that offer more than just a good likeness but rather express something essential about both the person being portrayed and the drawer’s unique relationship to the sitter.
Materials: Willow and compressed charcoal, a variety of pencils (2b, 4b, 6b 9b at least), drawing paper, standard and kneadable erasers. (Please bring anything else you have and might like to work with.)
8 week term – 6th Feb to 26th March : $290 – 5 classes $187.5 – 1 class $40
Michelle Dawson has been shortlisted for several major art prizes in Australia and has recently received a Highly Commended in the 2011 Portia Geach Award for portraiture.
