Greg Custer, an art instructor at Vanguard High School is teaching two art workshops this summer at Imagination Space in The Citadel.  The workshops will include:

1st workshop: "DRAWING ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BRAIN" Workshop - $100 (all supplies included)

This drawing workshop will focus on improving one’s ability to observe objects more effectively.  As a result, the aspiring artist will be able to capture accurate images through the art of drawing that have previously escaped them.  This workshop will include studies and exercises that have been proven from the research and development of Dr. Betty Edwards and her best-selling book “Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain.” For over a decade, Betty Edwards has disproved the belief that learning to draw well is possible only for those lucky people with natural talent.   Given proper instruction, the basic perceptual skills of drawing can be taught and can be learned in a short amount of time. Students will be drawing from a variety of subject matter.  

Times: 1 ½ hour sessions (10 sessions total)
          Session 1: 10am-11:30am
  Session 2: 2pm-3:30pm
  Session 3: 5pm-6:30pm

2nd workshop: SCULPTURE  (bust study) - $150 (all supplies included)

This workshop will involve the study and creation of a life-sized bust sculpture of a human portrait (the head and shoulders of the human figure).  The process of creating the sculpture will begin with drawing images on paper and then progressing on to miniature models, creation of armatures (metal skeleton/frame), molding of clay, and finishing with the application of the patina (the finish applied to the sculpture).  Tools and instruction will be designed to help each student create an accurate and life like bust study.

Times: 2 hour sessions (10 sessions total)
          Session 1: 9am-11am
  Session 2: 1pm-3pm
  Session 3: 5pm-7pm
