FIGURE DRAWING CLASSES

The Foster-Tanner Fine Arts Gallery will offer monthly three-hour figure drawing classes to the public!

The Florida A&M University Foster-Tanner Fine Arts Gallery is offering four monthly (January 31, February 28, March 28, and April 11) figure drawing classes to the general public. Classes are held on Saturdays from 11 am – 2 pm.  Participants must be at least 18 years old and will learn basic drawing techniques in graphite on paper, led by an experienced student artist. Classes will be held in the Foster-Tanner Fine Arts Gallery. 

Participants will need to purchase their own art supplies. A recommended supplies list is available on the event’s site. (*Our recommended supply list is based on the quality and price of the products, but participants are free to purchase alternative brands and sizes of the pencil sets and pads.)  Drawing classes are $25 per class.  Registration is required to participate. Space is limited.
