Berlin Collective Fall Drawing Workshop: ‘Drawing from Life’

"Excellent for first-timers! Challenging for slightly more experienced!
Stimulating for experienced artists too.
You've got nothing to lose. Mira's Life drawing class was our highlight of the past summer."

-  Marta Hanson, Visiting Scholar, Max Plank Institute for the History of
Science, Berlin

Berlin Collective Fall Drawing Workshop: ‘Drawing from Life’ Starts
October 10: Mira O’Brien, Artist & Instructor



This course introduces basic techniques in drawing, with a focus on
drawing from observation. Exercises explore technique, medium and
strategies in visual thinking. The course will be tailored around the
interests and levels of the individual students.

Each class is structured around a formal topic, with examples from
art-history and a brief discussion. We will build technique through a
series of guided exercises, followed by time for experimentation and
longer drawings. We will draw from a live model and from still life
creations.

We will make several excursions to draw out in the field, including
the ready-made still lives of Berlin’s Natural History Museum, the
statues in the Pergamon Museum, and a plein air site.

Location: Mira’s studio in Kreuzberg, Berlin (Wrangelstrasse 31a)

Schedule: Monday 6-9pm

- With several extra excursion meetings to be planned

-Workshop offered from October 10 – December 19, 2011


- Students are encouraged to participate for any length of time, but
are requested to commit to 4 weeks at a time

Cost: 30 Euro per class, 4 classes for 120 Euro

- A referral earns a discount! Bring a friend and you each get 4
classes for 100 Euro!

MIRA O’BRIEN, Artist & Berlin Director, was born in New York and grew up in the Bay Area, California. She received her BA from UCLA and her MFA from Yale. Research for her work has led Mira on some unusual adventures: exploring the abandoned factory buildings along the shore of Connecticut, searching for the vanished shore of the Aral Sea in the desert of Uzbekistan, and admiring ancient mosaics in Istanbul. Her work has notably been exhibited in: the Torrance Art Museum in Los Angeles, as a solo exhibition in Vierter Stock supported by a grant from the US Embassy in Berlin, La Viola Bank Gallery in NY, and in the historic former East- Berlin theatre the Volksbühne. Three years ago she moved to Berlin where she currently is still based. www.miraobrien.com
