EVENT DESCRIPTION: Guided Life Drawing 7:30-9:30 PM
- Session 1 is "gestures" and is designed for the attendees to warm up their muscles and their brains. This session is about drawing rough shapes quickly. No time for details. This is highly dynamic. Lots of transitions. Each position is held for 30 seconds to one minute. Typically 10-12 transitions.
- Session 2 is slightly more static poses for 2 to 4 minutes each position. This is still dynamic and often intense on the person in rope. 5 to 7 transitions, often making the final two poses the longer four minute holds. The purpose of this session for the attendees is to allow them to get line weights worked out in their shapes and start working in some shading.
- Session 3 Is typically a partial suspension or complex a floor tie. The goal here is to give the attendees 20 minutes to really sketch in some detail and good shading. All sessions but especially this session is prefaced with the safety and comfort of the person in rope. It could be one 20 minute hold or two 10 minutes hold with a break in the middle to reset. Or four 5 minute sittings.
