Still-Life Drawing with Gabriel Islas
Saturdays
April 23 - May 28, 2022
11 am to 2 pm

About the class:
Through still life, artists for hundreds of years have studied light, explored composition and told stories. We are thrilled to welcome back Gabriel Islas, a fantastic local artist and teacher, for this class. In this 6 part program, students will learn how to identify and draw aspects of light on form, create visual balance through composition and tell a story, all while using a traditional drawing process. Students, as a class, will arrange and choose their own objects to draw, as well as sketch multiple thumbnails to explore various angles, lighting options and points of view. With a final composition chosen, students will then use a traditional drawing process to complete their final drawings.
​
Teens must be able to:
- commit and attend all (6) classes
- have transportation to/from the Oxnard Performing Arts & Convention Center
Space is limited to 12 students, grades 8-12. Ages 13-18.

CLASS IS FULL.
