DEMONSTRATIONS
Second Thursday Daytime Demo | Thursday, May 9, 11am | FREE
Christen Waddell:  Portrait Sculpture
This demo will focus on the form of the human head. Chris will give 2D artists the tools to enhance their skills by gaining a better understanding of the form in real space. Graphic 3D artists will also enhance their skills by gaining a better understanding of the figure and 3-dimensional form.
Chris Waddell has been sculpting the figure for more than 2 decades. Waddell taught Classical sculpture in NYC at the Grand Central Academy of Art, and is an associate of the ICAA. His figures and portraits appear in private collections around the world and in international spaces including the National Mall in Washington D.C., the Canada Sports Hall of Fame and many others. He received his MFA from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.

AN INTRODUCTION TO THE FUNDAMENTALS OF BOTANICAL DRAWING
with Janet Parker
Students will learn techniques for drawing botanical subjects, realistically, in graphite. By using direct observation while looking up-close at live plants, students will break down their subjects into simplified forms to get a sense of how light-on-form works to create a sense of volume and accuracy in proportions.
