Figure Portrait Drawing Workshop: This hands on workshop may take place in a classroom, art room, or multi purpose room. Students will enjoy drawing along with Eugene, learning a step by step procedure for drawing the human skull as it pertains to portrait drawing. Self portraits of Van Gogh, Rembrandt, and others will be
discussed. Each student will receive a detailed handout with illustrations showing all of the information covered in the workshop. A clothed model may be provided to give the students an opportunity to draw a portrait from life. Teachers may expand on this subject within their classroom, following the workshop.
