Art Classes Oxford Art Classes Oxford is run by Cathy Mills. Life drawing classes, at URC in Summertown, involve looking closely at the unclothed model and focusing on understanding how to draw the figure in proportion, developing an understanding of tone, line, and form. We usually start classes with a mixture of warm up poses, followed by either two medium length poses or one long pose. Classes are designed for all levels, including beginners; they are friendly and sociable and many students return from term to term. Painting & Drawing classes also run at St. Peter’s, Wolvercote. https://artclassesoxford.wordpress.com |
