Come join the fun!
Enrich your summer by learning and playing with art. I will be offering 3 classes and one workshop for the 2015 summer session. All classes are held at the Minneapolis based art school The Atelier. It is located in the Fisk Building on the corner of East Hennepin Ave. and Stinson. Free off street parking is available.
Gesture Class is Back!
Gestural Figure Study
Gain a better understanding of gesture of the figure. This class will mesh The Atelier and Studio Arts figure study methods. We will be drawing from a live, nude model. Students will explore what gesture is and ways to capture it through quick poses, progressively longer poses, and experimentation. Materials list will be supplied upon registration. Beginners welcome.

Illustration Workshop (1 week)
Let your imagination fly! Get a taste of illustration during this week long, half-day workshop.
We’ll work to develop a strong drawing for an imaginative piece based upon an existing story or your own idea.
Topics covered will include composition, brainstorming, thumbnails, research, sketch development, and studies for value and color. Emphasis will be placed on composition, and storytelling.
For the first class please bring a sketchbook, and your preferred drawing tools. If you have a laptop or other device with internet access, bring that too for reference research. If you have a specific project in mind, please contact me (cmitzuk@christinemitzuk.com).
