Art & Design Draw-A-Thon

It's been a long while since I've been to a live figure drawing session. Last weekend, I made it to a Draw-A-Thon fundraiser at the Art And Design High School. Mostly quick sketches. These aren't masterpieces, but it was good to be back at it.

Draw-A-Thon

 Went to a drawing session this past weekend, a Draw-A-Thon fundraiser for the Arts & Design High School. It's been a long, long, looooong time since I've done any live model drawing!

Last Saturday I went to the Draw-A-Thon at the High School of Art and Design. It's a seven-hour drawing session that's a fundraiser for the school. I've heard about it for some time, but this is the first time I was able to make it. Unfortunately, I was only able to attend for about two hours, so I was only able to do a little bit of work.

Pratt Draw-A-Thon 2018

Last week, I went to the Pratt Draw-A-Thon, a 24-hour drawing marathon with 18 models hosted by the Pratt Art Institute. I only stayed for about four hours, but that was long enough to produce a bunch of drawings.

Pratt Draw-a-thon 2012

Last night/this morning was the annual Draw-a-thon at the Pratt Institute. It's a marathon drawing session with multiple set-ups of 18 models, running from 7 PM to 7 AM. I've always wanted to go, especially considering it happens just a few blocks from my apartment, but I always find out about it after the fact, so I was excited to actually hear that it was happening in time to attend. I didn't do the full 12 hours, I started to get bleary around 3:00. But it was a fun time and I got a lot of work done. And there was free pizza!

One of the things they did was post the models' names on the schedule of what was happening in each room. A lot of the time, I don't know the names of the people posing in these sessions, so that was a nice little humanizing element to the exercise.
