College offers artist training
Advertiser Staff
Windward Community College is offering aspiring artists a place to hone their figure-drawing skills in a professional studio setting with live models every Friday at 1:30 p.m at Hale Palanakila 202.
The program is not an instructional class, but instead an opportunity for people to have access to an open workshop. A fee of $5 is charged for the shared expenses for the three-hour session.
The college also is offering a six-week atelier program which provides training in the classical techniques and skills demanded by the Realist tradition. Portraiture and the human figure are the focus of the instruction. The atelier program is offered only during the college's summer session.
For more information about both programs, reach Snowden Hodges at 236-9148.
