About This Activity
Dates: Sept 10- Dec 17, 2024 Tuesdays, 4:00 PM - 5:30 PM No class 11/26 In the fall, we will focus on methods of drawing from observation using a variety of art tools and materials. Participants will learn to appreciate that all art, and especially drawing, begins with looking. The art of paying attention is where all great technical drawing ability stems from, whether one is creating an abstract artwork or a figurative one. We will practice different kinds of observational drawing and painting, whether through still life, live figure drawing, or plein air drawing. By the end of the class, participants will gain a better understanding of the principles and concepts of art. They will be able to notice more about the world around them and translate this heightened attention to more focused drawing pieces. Join this class and improve your drawing skills while exploring your creative voice!

She has exhibited work at the de Young Museum, the Sebastopol Center for the Arts, the Coulter Gallery, West Magazine, and the Stanford Art Gallery. She was a metal arts resident at the Steel Yard in Providence, RI, and most recently a resident at Radio28 Creative Studios in Mexico City. Ali was a dual major and received her BA in Art Practice (with honors) and Art History at Stanford University. In her teaching, she believes that artmaking can foster resilience, focus, investigation, and self-reflection, and is interested in allowing students to explore various mediums as means of self-expression, including drawing, painting, collage, and sculpture. As an educator and artist, she works with students to understand the different possibilities and challenges of different mediums, and feel that they have the freedom and confidence to move between them to express personally meaningful narratives.
