Are you wondering if the GCA approach is right for you? Are you enrolled in an upcoming class or workshop at the GCA and want to get a head start? This class serves as an overview of the Grand Central Atelier’s sculptural approach to drawing from life and as a minimal basis for any future instruction at the GCA. This one day seminar will provide a broad overview of our methodology by presenting some of the most fundamental aspects of drawing from life through an emphasis on lecture, demonstration and practice, illustrating the concepts universally applied to any curriculum offered at the Grand Central Atelier. Strict practitioners of academic art would tell you that you need to hear the same concept multiple times in order to incorporate it into your thinking. One of the most compelling reasons to study at the GCA is the continuity of instruction across the entire curriculum. This class aims to familiarize you with our core concepts, as you will hear the same concepts again and again in any class you take, in person or online, thus building a solid understanding of the ideas and applicable vocabulary to help you get more out of future instruction.
