NORMAN ROCKWELL VISIBLE STUDIO: Multi-Figure Painting in the Museum of Art

Ages 18 + | All Levels | With Yulia Levkovich

Create vivid, full-figure compositions inspired by this summers Norman Rockwell exhibition. This class takes place in the Museum of Art Sculpture Court where students may take breaks and visit Rockwell's full-scale oil paintings for inspiration. Focus on light and shadow, color and surface to paint strong figures from head to toe. Working from multiple clothed models in a single pose for the semester, students understand proportions, the structure of the body, features, and narrative while honing oil painting skills. Required materials list provided.

Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute will present the landmark exhibition Norman Rockwell, June 11 through September 18, featuring iconic images of American scenes painted by the most beloved artist and illustrator of the 20th century.
