Life Drawing 201

An unseriously academic dive into formal principles of figure drawing!

Time & Location

Aug 24, 2025, 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM

Somerville, 72 Joy St, Somerville, MA 02143, USA

Join instructor Angela DeCarlis for an unseriously academic dive into formal principles of figure drawing! This class is geared toward learners who have some experience drawing from the model, but are looking to add new skills and techniques to their artistic arsenal.


"UNSERIOUSLY ACADEMIC"

This class embraces both nerdiness and anarchy! While we'll cover a variety of techniques taken from classical western art education, Ang believes that there is more to figure drawing than rote representation. Whether you thrive with formulas and rules, you want to work intuitively and emotionally, or you're striving for something in between, you will learn approaches that suit your goals.



Sunday, August 24

Doors 9:30, Class 10am–1pm

Life Drawing Boston, 72 Joy Street, Somerville MA



MATERIALS

To make the most of this learning experience, Ang encourages students to work with either graphite or charcoal in a sketchbook that is 9"x 12" or larger (the bigger the better!). If you have a portable easel (like this one) feel free to bring it!


PAYMENT
  • Registration Cost: sliding scale $30–$50 per student, pay-what-you-can-afford*

  • Payment Methods: You can pay right here with a card or PayPal, but we can both avoid fees if you use Cash, Check or Venmo. You still need to select a cost and reserve your ticket here, though!

  • Cancellations and Refunds: If you need to cancel your registration, I can refund any payments made in advance, but depending on how you pay me fees may apply — i.e., you may not receive back your full payment. * no one turned away for lack of funds — email me directly at aedecarlis@gmail.com


ACCESSIBILITY

The space at Life Drawing Boston is not wheelchair accessible; however, there are few enough steps that some wheelchair users may be able to enter with assistance. See pictures of entryway and restroom here.


If you need other accommodations in order to attend, please reach out to Ang directly at aedecarlis@gmail.com
