FIGURE DRAWING SESSIONS AT SOMARTS HAVE BEEN ONGOING FOR 15+ years,
making it one of the longest-running groups of its kind in the Bay
Area. Artists meet every Saturday from 10:30 am–1:30 PM in the
upstairs classroom (accessible via the Brannan Street entrance on the
left side of the SOMARTS BUILDING FACADE). Sessions are moderated by
experienced facilitator Julianna Lopez and a live model poses for each
session.The class is $10 per person and drop-ins are always welcome.
More details:
* Doors open at 10:00 AM. Enter through the glass door at 934
Brannan St. (directly to the left of the roll up door when facing the
building). On the outside buzzer, press button #3 (labeled “CLASS /
DOJO”) to be buzzed in. Go up the stairs, and down the long hallway
to the DRAWING STUDIO. Unfortunately, we do not have an accessible
entrance to the drawing studio. A construction project to address this
is in the works.
* Models pose in 20 minute segments with 5 minute breaks, starting
with 20 one-minute poses for gesture drawing, and ending with several
20-minute longer poses.
* All media are allowed, provided that there is no odor.
* There are tables, drawing horses, stools, chairs, and cushions
available for use. There are no drawing boards or easels, but you are
welcome to bring your own.
* There is no instruction provided, but generally the other artists
are happy to provide advice and/or comments.
* No reservations are needed, with seating on a first-come,
first-served basis. If you arrive late and/or it happens to be crowded
that day, we’ll find a way to squeeze you in.
* Note for models: All models are booked through the Bay Area Models
Guild. If you are a member of the BAMG and are interested in modeling
for SOMArts, please contact the Guild’s booking coordinator.
