Figure Drawing: Come experience some real-life figure drawing without the tuition! These are free, community classes, meaning that modeling time is often shared between participants: nude, clothed or anywhere in-between is fine! This class is a maintained safe space: anyone being disrespectful or ‘body-negative’ will be asked to leave. Reporting and discussing any problems related to these topics are encouraged. Drawing instruction and assistance with techniques will be available. All skill levels are welcome. Models are wanted for upcoming months. At 6:30 we usually lay all of our drawings out and have discussion and critique (participation is optional) to help us hone our skills. The facilitators for each class are listed below
