The course will feature a structured curriculum on drawing the human figure, 6 hrs of life drawing/day, 5 days/week. It will also facilitate the opportunity for students to draw at night in the Louvre (Five Wednesday and Friday nights). Additionally, the class will take one weekday afternoon to visit the concurrent exhibition "Anthony van Dyck - European Portraitist" at the Musee Jacquemart André, a first-ever solo show (remarkably) for the artist in France.
