Have a holly and jolly morning at Zoo Boise for Breakfast with Santa! Get treated to a buffet breakfast, personal time with Santa Claus, kids craft time, animal experiences, and more. Then you'll have the rest of the day to explore the zoo!

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!

Santa Claus is coming to the WCA! He and his elves will touch down on Sunday, December 7th at 11am to take photos with community members young and old.

This year, kiddos have the opportunity to get their wishes in ahead of time! All are welcome to stop in to the WCA Mon-Fri, 8am-4pm between November 17th and December 1st to write a letter to Santa and drop it in his official mailbox to be sent directly to the North Pole.

Photos, treats, and crafts are free and accessible to all.

Any optional donations will provide direct support for survivors of domestic abuse. Community members can also bring a gift for our WCA Client Holiday Store – access our wishlist here: https://qrco.de/bg2eVZ

Practice your drawing skills in our popular figure drawing session! We have a wide range of models who pose for us to keep the subject fresh, diverse and inclusive. Models will be clothed in whatever way they choose. Over the years, we've included people from all walks of life, from college students and grandparents to burlesque dancers and pin-up models in full costume!

Each session will consist of a few quick gesture poses to get you warmed up, followed by several 15-30 minute poses. A short, 5-10 minute break during the session will be used for a gallery walk to view each other's work and share feedback and support. All levels welcome, no formal training is provided in this session. Ages 16 to adult. Feeling rusty? We've seen notable drawing improvement in just a few weeks... Practice makes progress!
