Class 51. Head & Figure Construction—Live with Ken & Stephanie Goldman | Athenaeum Art Center

About the Event

Tuesdays, 1–4 PM
January 7–February 11
(6 weeks, 18 total hours of instruction)
AAC Art Studio
(Includes model)

This is a unique opportunity to study with two accomplished and warmhearted artist-educators in the same course. Ken and Stephanie are both well known for their ability to help each person find their own unique drawing abilities. Each week there will be a life model.



On day one, Ken will introduce a simplified approach to gesture drawing and the fundamentals of figure and head construction. During Weeks 2 and 3, Ken will go deeper into the importance of gesture drawing in relation to constructing and composing longer poses.



During the final three weeks, Stephanie will continue to build on Ken’s lessons but will include longer poses that will allow students time to incorporate the basics into an actual process of drawing or painting more finished figures and portraits.



Materials: You do not need to buy everything on this list. Only buy materials that relate to the medium you plan to work with, or if you are more advanced, bring your own supplies. On day one you will only need newsprint, a drawing board, vine charcoal, kneaded eraser, and one colored pastel for accents.

Charcoal: Soft vine charcoal; 4B charcoal pencil; kneaded eraser; smooth newsprint; drawing board; rags or paper towels.

If you prefer graphite: 2B, 4B, and 6B graphite pencils; kneaded eraser; 18˝ x 24˝drawing pad or 18˝ x 24˝ smooth newsprint; drawing board.



Max students: 12
