Figure Drawing

Practice is essential for mastering any skill, as it transforms initial struggles into proficiency. Through consistent repetition, we build muscle memory, sharpen our focus, and gain confidence. The more we practice, the more we refine our technique, and the closer we get to reaching our full potential. Progress often comes gradually, but with dedication, practice unlocks the path to improvement and success. This class is incredibly beneficial for students how have or are interested in participating in Figure Academy in the summer.

ADA ACCESSIBILITY & ACCOMMODATIONS:

Our classrooms are ADA accessible. Some courses may involve tasks or activities that may be difficult for individuals with limited strength, difficulty bending over, and sitting or standing for long periods of time. We are happy to work with students to find solutions to make their experience positive and doable. For example, wheel throwing takes arm strength and bending over the wheel. Students may work on hand-building projects instead of throwing. Please reach out to our office to discuss your needs.

All of our models are either in costumes or wearing nude colored undergarments. We do not use nude models for our classes.
