Join Art with Liz every week at the Library to learn about classic and contemporary artists, followed by a free art workshop. All materials are provided. This class is open to artists of any level, including beginners. All are welcome!
Art teacher, Liz Ndoye, will make October our “Return to Our Basics” month. Our theme will be to refresh ourselves. Ndoye wants to re-introduce life drawing. She believes that this will re-inspire our artistic enthusiasm and energy, and continue to build on our growing and improving observational and drawing skills.
On October 9, 2024, the artist of focus will be Amy Sherald. Sherald has become famous since her portrait of First Lady Michelle Obama and is a master of figurative drawing and painting. Looking at her work will again help students in mastering their own sense of proportion and figuration. We will work from life and start out with gesture drawings. Ndoye will teach techniques of shading and how to build volume in the figure. This will be followed by long poses in which students can make more finished images of the model.
This program will be held both in person and live on Zoom and YouTube.
Registration is required whether you are attending in person or online. Registration closes 15 minutes before each class. You will receive the Zoom link and password 15 minutes before the class begins.
