Drawing FORCE Class starting this January!



Hi Everyone,
I am starting a FORCE drawing class in January!  It has been awhile since I have run a drawing class that is open to the public. Quite frankly I have had a difficult time finding the right space and the right time to accomplish this.  Well, I have finally found a great space to run classes!   The class is limited to 15 spots.  If you are interested, please respond to this email.  All the class information is below.


Figure Drawing with FORCE!
Instructor: Mike Mattesi
Mondays, 7-10pm
12 Weeks,   (Jan 9th-March 26th)
Location: 254 shoreline hwy, Mill Valley, CA 94941

Beginner to advanced students
Materials: 18x24 SMOOTH Newsprint, Caran Dache or China marker or 6B-9B lead.
15 student maximum
Cost: $550

This classed is based on the popular and inspiring brand of FORCE drawing books written by Michael.  Learn how to see, understand and draw FORCE with the use of line! During the twelve weeks of class we will be drawing from nude models.  Some exciting topics that will be covered in class are:

·      Line, and its meaning to the world of force.
·      How to translate the body’s volumes into dimensional movement.
·      Use lines of force to describe the surface of the figure’s energies. 
·      Shortcuts into the world of space.
·      Perspective, which includes one, two, three and four point perspective.
