Charles Bargue Drawing Course
The Charles Bargue Drawing Course is one of the most influential classical drawing courses that is still being used in fine art Ateliers throughout the world. The course was developed in the mid 19th century to guide students from plaster casts to the study of great master drawings to drawing from life, a foundational exercise for fine art training.
The goal of this 10-week course is to sharpen drawing ability and technique. Students will be guided through completing a single drawing from a reproduction in the Charles Bargue Drawing Course. The process will take students from the straight-line block-in to the end stages and subtle finishing. Copies will be completed in pencil with varying degrees of pressure. Please bring a 9x12 toned sketching pad, HB pencil and kneaded eraser to first class. Class will have homework assignments to be completed by next class.

Momigami - is Japanese for “kneaded paper.” By kneading paper you can transform it into a durable, flexible paper with a cloth-like texture. Momigami can be used for collage, cardmaking, bookbinding, and many other paper crafts.
