Fall Classes

Larger classroom at 12A Lois Ave., Greenville, South Carolina.

Sculpting the Human Head (Beginners – Adults/Teens)

Learn the proportions of the human head while you sculpt from a photo of a friend or family member. Or, if you choose, you can do a self portrait. Since we'll use non-hardening clay, there is no worry that your work will dry and crack. Materials will be provided for use in class. (Dates: Mondays, September 15 – October 6; Time: 6:30-9:30 P.M.; Fee: $175) Four classes (three hours each) You must email by September 3 to register.

Figure Drawing Workshop (Adults)

Trying to capture a likeness of someone is a life-long study. We'll begin our study by looking at basic human anatomy. Most of the time will be spent drawing from live models. Bring a large sketch pad (11 x 14 larger) and drawing pencils to the first class and you’ll be ready to begin. Fee includes payment for the models. (Dates: Tuesdays, September 16 – October 21; Time: 6:30-8:30 P.M.; Fee: $125) Six classes (two hours each) You must email by September 9 to register.

Beginner's Drawing (Adults/Teens)

Draw for the fun of it. We'll study the basics to help you capture what you see so that you can express yourself artistically. We'll start with perspective, shading and simple composition. We'll explore still life and perhaps touch on figure drawing. You'll need a large newsprint sketch pad (11x14 or larger), drawing pencils, and charcoal pencils or charcoal sticks. (Dates: Thursdays, September 18 - October 9; Time: 6:30-8:30 PM; Fee: $85) Four classes (two hours each) You must email by September 11 to register.

To register for classes, and get put on the list, simply include the class you'd like to take (sculpting, figure drawing, or still life drawing), the age level (high school or adult) and the time of day that will work best for you. Payment will be taken on the first day of class.

Models Needed

No experience necessary

Models are needed for Doug's studio classes or as models for some of his sculptures. You must be able to hold a pose for about 15 minutes. Students taking the drawing class are serious about perfecting their work. If you're interested, please contact Doug for more information.
