Art Making
Art making classes at the Rubin Museum provide participants with opportunities to deeply reflect on Himalayan art through artistic expression, while developing individual artistic skill through different mediums. Experienced artist-instructors guide participants in small class settings that take place after hours in museum galleries and designated art studio spaces.
Drawing The Body Unbound: Exploring the Figure
Wednesdays, February 1–22, 2012
6:30–9:30 p.m.
In this four-session art making workshop, participants will explore the figure in early Himalayan and modernist Indian art. Comparing the treatment of the figure in these two vibrant artistic time periods, participants will discover how gesture and contour were employed by artists for capturing the powerful likenesses of gods and goddesses, as well as for personal expressions of Post–Independence India’s rapidly changing identity. After in-gallery sessions, participants will create figurative art using graphite, watercolor, and gouache. This program includes exhibition tours as well as exclusive after-hours access to the galleries for drawing.
No drawing experience necessary. All materials included. Advance registration required.
Course Fee: $175, $150 members
