Currently studying art or thinking about going to an art school? Perhaps you’re looking to expand your portfolio or just want to gain some more skills. Everyone talks about how important life drawing is for aspiring artists, so Quay Arts are offering some free spaces to Brave Island members on their life drawing classes!
Life drawing is where you draw from a live model rather than a photograph. It’s highly recommended as it improves your observation, coordination, and drawing skills. You start by drawing a series of quick sketches where the model changes pose often, then a few drawings where you have more time to work on them. The focus isn’t on the quality of the work, but on building your skills, it’s also great for relaxation! If you want to read more about what to expect, you can read this post.
Practical info: To apply, please tell us why you would like to take part. Basic materials will be supplied (paper, pencil, charcoal), but if there’s anything in particular you would like to use then please feel free to bring it. Please note that the life drawing model will be nude, so this opportunity is for ages 18+. This opportunity takes place at Quay Arts in the Anthony Minghella Theatre.
Opportunity Date & Time: Monday 1st July, Monday 8th July, and Monday 15th July, 1pm – 3pm. Please tell us which date/s you would like to attend.
If you have any questions, please email megan@ventnorexchange.co.uk.
