Community Calendar

Come warm up the new year and celebrate the 4th anniversary of Boise's own local art collaborative "The Cat!"
Open house with live music, free art activities, local art sale, prizes, and a live look at 'raku firing', a Japanese pottery technique!

Learn how to conduct a figure drawing study with a live model using vine charcoal, newsprint and drawing paper. While each standalone session will discuss basic human proportions, composition, value and form, each lesson may focus on a specific topic, including but not limited to: hands, face, torso, foreshortening (lying down), drapery over figure.

Each session, we'll learn about optimal work area set-up, basic materials, and dynamic gestures and measuring techniques. As a group, we will learn from each other by sharing our work and discussing our challenges in brief critiques during breaks for our model.

These figure drawing studies create muscle memory to draw more accurate figures without reference to allow an easier creative flow; practice makes progress!

Join us to kick off our 4th Annual Winter Reading Program! Meet the Steelheads players, eat some snacks, play some games, and most importantly, sign up for the Winter Reading Program!
