General Admission

Someone you know recently said with an Austrian accent that "You should always have a Plan" and we do agree when it comes to Drawing, Painting or any Creative activity. Here is one plan we created for you.
<ol>
<li>You smile, get really excited and look for all Art materials that you thought had gone and set yourself up making sure the Floor is kept protected, preferably not too far from a TV screen that you could HDMI connect to your PC for the class so you may use an easel for example.</li>
<li>you book a class here on Cademy and write it down on your Diary after ordering bits you need online.</li>
<li>The days has come, you've installed zoom on your PC, connected the Tele to it, got your equipment ready, kettle nearby and cookies (OH no! sorry not those) and had a look at our latest drawings captured at classes at http://e.pc.cd/r7WotalK or on Google to feel inspired/create a plan. Then you'll connect at 6.25pm so we can let you in. Classes usually start at 6.32pm but you can drop in at anytime even 5 mins before the end.</li>
<li>The Teacher will tell you what he/she would do, look at, keep an eye on or the opposite the don'ts. Trying to get you to add tools to your Artist tool box that you will use more and more, quicklier and more automatically so you can develop other sides of your Art.</li>
<li>Maybe your Wifi goes bad, you received a job call or you just forgot, oh no! In this case you have nothing to worry about as you now know that you can draw at anytime from the recording.</li>
<li>You've drawn for 2 to 3 hours (as occasionally we get a new life model who want to audition at the end for an hour), you feel amazing, you forgot Everything so you'll then mingle with other similar minded participants showing your drawings and getting feedback and tips. Some days you may want to rush out or not show any drawings and all is fine.</li>
<li>You want more and discovered that what you've paid for one class could be the same for a all Month (15 to 18 classes) and so you email us to find out more at eukart at msn.com.</li>
<li>You feel more and more part of a Local community and heard that we put everyone together on the Art Map such ass classes, models, Art teachers, Artists, and more and because you filled your Registration form here we'll help you appear on it.</li>
<li>You tell friends, family, Kids (as we also have classes for them), Parents, grand Parents, anyone who loves this hobby or needs one. If you are good at Social Networking then we have a great incentive for you. If anyone ask you what, who we are simply say that we are the People who went mad 18 years ago, and voluntarily did the impossible of saving Life Drawing Classes from extinction, Went on Tele and Radio with celebs many times, brought classes to 400 locations where no one has Drawn before from Parks, Offices, Squats, Empty buildings, etc, and don't charge anything for their help and guidance since 2003. Simply People living and sharing their Passion now with the entire World.</li>

<div class="product-excerpt" data-content-field="excerpt">
Hello all,
Welcome to our Thursday online life drawing sessions,
This week we are joined by the brilliant Trixie who will be working with us for a live session.
We will introduce the class with a piece of text which will help our model create her first pose, whilst Trixie is posing, we invite drawers to describe the pose and what happens next. We will select a piece of writing from each pose which will be shared with you and the model, creating a new pose and a new piece of writing. When all the poses and text are arranged, we hope to have a unique and wonderful story written and illustrated by all those who take part. What&rsquo;s really exciting is the narrative and poses can lead to many creative and unique poses.
Image by Francesco Gulina of Trixie at one of our first ever online events.
Life Drawing starts at 18:30 GMT, and all you need is the internet and something to make a mark with. I will be working with the nude model, doing several poses from short to long.
50% of the takings will go to the model so we really would love for you to share to make sure each model is well looked after while work is tough to come by right now, so each session will be worth a few jobs for every model, so the more, the merrier.
I will send out details of the event to everyone via email at 17:30

Life Drawing - Trixie Divine - Drawing Consequences

Mokume Gane is an old Japanese technique used with metals that is adapted to use with polymer clay resulting in always magically beautiful pieces of art.&nbsp;
You will be guided through the steps and once you have created your own, unique sheet of Mokume Gane clay, you can make items of your choice. You will be provided with the accessories to make some key rings, pendants and templates for ring-dishes, but I'm sure you will come up with ideas of your own.
All items need to be baked in a conventional or fan-assisted oven.
This is a great workshop to do on your own, with&nbsp; friends, family members or as a group activity with collegues or team mates.
If you want to surprise someone with this course, I'll wrap it up in and send it directly to their address with a gift tag complete with your personalised message (no extra cost, I love wrapping up presents!).
&nbsp;
Your kit in a handmade box will contain:
Clay,&nbsp;tile,&nbsp;roller,&nbsp;blade,&nbsp;spacers,&nbsp;measuring square,&nbsp;burnishing paper,&nbsp;necklace cord, 2x pairs of earring hooks, 2x bail, unique necklace finding and 2x keyring.
&nbsp;
I will send you pre- and post class instructions and templates for you to use.

We would love to invite you to Art in the Park's ONLINE Life Drawing with Cuban born, Singer-Song writer: Jes&uacute;s Cuti&ntilde;o!
Posing live for us we will have Jes&uacute;s Cuti&ntilde;o, who will be clothed. Jes&uacute;s is an acclaimed multi instrumentalist who plays a dynamic mix of traditional Cuban Music, Latin Jazz, Spanish, reggae ,Ska &amp; Mambo.
In between the performance, Jes&uacute;s will stop for 1 to 5 minute poses for us to draw. We will also experiment with drawing him whilst he performs without stopping.
Materials needed: Any paper you have around the house of any size and any drawing materials - pencils, coloured pencils, felt tips, oil or chalk pastels, or charcoal.
The session will be mainly short poses of 5 minutes or less. There will be an experienced Art in the Park artist present who can offer advice if needed and will show artist inspiration but of course feel free to draw however you want.
At the end of the session, we would love it if you could stay and hold up your drawings so that we can see your work. Also we would love it if you emailed your finished artwork to studio.artinthepark@gmail.com or tagged us in them at @artinburgesspark on instagram or @artintheparktwt on twitter.

Previous participants have said:
&ldquo;I liked the interesting poses and the ability of the model.&rdquo;
&ldquo;the longer poses, and shapes of the model's body&rdquo;
&ldquo;The relaxed, but energetic atmosphere. Also the superb models, &amp; particularly the quick poses&rdquo;
&ldquo;Great poses and model&rdquo;
&ldquo;I loved the format. Vanessa is such good model and was so serene, and the Flo and Andrea are so supportive and encouraging.&rdquo;
&ldquo;I haven't done amy life drawing of a yoga practitioner and found this so interesting. The poses are complex and this time I found I relaxed into the longer poses more and was able to take my time and enjoy the process.&rdquo;

We would love to invite you to Art in the Park's ONLINE Life Drawing with Cuban born, Singer-Song writer: Jesús Cutiño!
Posing live for us we will have Jesús Cutiño, who will be clothed. Jesús is an acclaimed multi instrumentalist who plays a dynamic mix of traditional Cuban Music, Latin Jazz, Spanish, reggae ,Ska & Mambo.
In between the performance, Jesús will stop for 1 to 5 minute poses for us to draw. We will also experiment with drawing him whilst he performs without stopping.
Materials needed: Any paper you have around the house of any size and any drawing materials - pencils, coloured pencils, felt tips, oil or chalk pastels, or charcoal.
The session will be mainly short poses of 5 minutes or less. There will be an experienced Art in the Park artist present who can offer advice if needed and will show artist inspiration but of course feel free to draw however you want.
At the end of the session, we would love it if you could stay and hold up your drawings so that we can see your work. Also we would love it if you emailed your finished artwork to studio.artinthepark@gmail.com or tagged us in them at @artinburgesspark on instagram or @artintheparktwt on twitter.
