Advanced Long Pose Figure Drawing Workshop with Jonathan Pincus 3 Days | Tues - Thurs, July 9 - 11 | 6:00 - 9:00 pm $200 CAA Members | $205 Non-Members | Materials Provided Registration Deadline: Class Description: In this advanced, long pose drawing workshop, Jonathan Pincus, MFA cum laude New York Academy of Art, and Lecturer of Art at Hartwick College will teach 19th century academic drawing strategies. Artists such as Thomas Eakins, Kenyon Cox, Frank Vincent DuMond, Robert Henri, Dennis Miller Bunker and more transformed American Art education when they returned from Parisian ateliers and taught how to draw the forms of the human body with more accuracy and precision at The Pennsylvania Academy of Art, National Academy of Design, Art Students League, and Boston schools. This fostered the golden age of American illustration during which time Norman Rockwell, J.C. Leyendecker, Howard Pyle, N.C. Wyeth and others revolutionized American visual culture. These same principles informed the drawings of models at the Fenimore Museum’s past exhibition Drawn from Life: Three Generation of Wyeth Figure Studies. Where? This class will meet at the specified dates and times in the Cooperstown Art Association's Upstairs Classroom Space. REGISTRATION & QUESTIONS? Contact the CAA at (607) 547-9777 or [email protected] |
