We are excited to offer another series of portrait building classes with Ricky Vasan. This class is for both returning students as well as new students. Previous students are welcome to join and with them Ricky would love to continue working on more individualized projects.
In this class we will learn how to ‘build’ a portrait. Through the lens of contemporary portraiture we will learn to mine our own personal lives and experiences to create a portrait that not only successfully captures a likeness but also a narrative. The six weeks of the course will be divided into sections of formal skill development and more conceptual narrative exploration. We will consider various methods of drawing and capturing a likeness trying to find your individualized visual language for representational drawing and painting.
Materials List (please bring to the first class)
Drawing board
sketchbooks 9x12 inches minimum
pencils, pens/ other drawing tools of preference
vine, charcoal
kneaded erasers
pencil sharpeners
