Winter 2025: Drawing the Figure with Chelsea Bard

GCA • 1519 Decatur Street Suite 201 RidgewoodNY  11385 Organized by Grand Central Atelier

About this event

In this five day workshop students will aim to complete one drawing working with a figure model from life. Dividing time between block in and modeling stages students will hone their skills of accurate observation and conceptual knowledge to convey both a physical presence and character of the model. The use of ecorche casts will be used to bolster the discussion of the architecture of the figure and the fundamentals of representation – character of the model, anatomy & structural conventions, and form rendering. With the aid of master drawings we will investigate the historical use of dry media, from the Renaissance to the 19th Beaux Arts, and discuss the use of material to evoke the variety and textures of life. Chelsea will illustrate each stage of the drawing process with a demonstration. Alongside demos students will receive one on one critiques helping them towards their independent goals.
