Life Drawing Michele Hoffman

After many years of service, Shanti Marie has retired from managing the Life Drawing class at the Charlotte Art League. We are happy to report that Michele Hoffman will take over leadership of the class.

Michele is a new member of CAL who has been a member in the past and often enters and wins juried shows and competitions at CAL.  Her work was recently seen in the Siemens fall juried show at CAL.  She is experienced as a student and model in life drawing classes at the Art Institute and around Charlotte and has learned from some of the best figure drawing teachers in Charlotte.  She has often overseen figure drawing sessions for local artists.

Class Description: Through the figure drawing session at the Charlotte Art League, members and non members will be able to focus on drawing a live nude figure model.  For a two hour period we will focus on long and short poses. We will start the sessions with short poses 5 to 10 min and extend it to 20 min poses. The class may occasionally be determined by students choice so we may sometimes focus on long two week extended poses with accessorized, and clothed models as an option. Class room atmosphere will be relaxed with no instruction. There will be a wide range of models to pose every Saturday.

Where: 1517 Camden Road in the gallery
Class fees: $10 (model fee of $40 included) You will be asked to register on your first session and sign in on every session thereafter. Sign-in will include name, e-mail, and phone number.

Winter term will run from January 14, 2012 to March 17, 2012. 10 sessions will be completed and we will take a week long break on March 24 and resume on March 31, 2012.

CAL is very excited to have Michele continue the Life Drawing class. We really want to keep it growing and an important part of our CAL offerings. Any suggestions you have about the class will be helpful. E-mail Michele at onemarle@yahoo.com with questions or comments.
