Los instrumentos musicales nos han ayudado a comunicar y expresarnos desde los comienzos de la cultura humana. Al construir nuestros propios instrumentos artesanales despertamos la memoria de nuestra conexión con la naturaleza, cultivamos presencia a través de trabajar el barro, y experimentamos alegría a con el sonido y la música. |

In this figure drawing class taught by Lydia Ethem, students will be inspired by the flowing lines and elegant forms of the Art Nouveau era. Inspired by the works of Alphonse Mucha, Gustav Klimt, and other masters of the movement, this course explores the human form through the lens of ornamental design, organic motifs, and stylized beauty. |

Suspended Disbelief shares nearly 100 objects from the 15-year history of Elvis' Birthday Fight Club (EBFC). The annual theatrical experience started as a little burlesque show and has since become a DC/Baltimore cultural touchstone with its own punch-drunk logic, physics, and rituals. At the opening of each performance, the character of Commodious (Elvis' Toilet) tells the audience "you may have to suspend your disbelief a little tiny bit." With sleazy humor, a penchant for fart jokes, and cartoon-like violence, EBFC creates a world where someone wearing a trash can and a 5 gallon bucket from Home Depot is undoubtedly Lego Batman. A place where an object made of a hand armature, gaff tape, paint, and string from a discarded dog toy is a dreaded MONKEY PAW. And where a foam sculpted head attached to a bike helmet with beauty store weave is the prettiest My Little Pony of all time (RIP Sparkleshine, gone but not forgotten). Why? Because the outrageous is more fun than verisimilitude, and the surreal sometimes more honest than the real. Suspended Disbelief invites you to get up close to costumes and props that were never designed for up-close magic, but here they are...flaws, hot glue, and all; and, arguably still very much magical.

This drop-in figure drawing course is suitable for all skill levels. Untrained new artists will learn multiple approaches to figure drawing while seasoned artists will have the opportunity to hone their skills and further train their eye. Each class will feature a nude model and begin with quick gesture poses. The remaining time will be spent on the artistry of longer poses. The goal is to train all artists to more quickly and fluidly capture the gesture of the entire figure. |
