Members of the Young Presidents’ Organization from San Francisco were introduced to key concepts of figurative drawing and painting in a 2.5-hour workshop at the Fontainebleau Hotel on Miami Beach. This workshop was offered to guests as an enrichment activity supporting their Art Basel travel retreat programming. In a short time, participants practiced gesture drawing, were introduced to basic anatomical proportions, sketched the figure in pencil, transferred the drawing to canvas then painted in acrylic. The results were gorgeous, one-of-a-kind works of art! Participants gained a greater appreciation for the creative process and bonded in their shared experience!
Lewis Perez wanted to give his son the gift of learning and inspiration for his 14th birthday. He wanted to do something outside of the box, create an experience of real value for his talented son and his close circle of friends, all of whom loved art! We worked together to create a 2 hour workshop focusing on foundational drawing skills (contour line drawing in ink and shading studies in pencil) while simultaneously collaborating on a group painting project! Each guest received an “art kit” with sketchbook and drawing materials, and the birthday boy got to keep the mixed media painting, signed by all of his friends.
Whether you’re looking for an enrichment activity to support your team building/leadership programs, or want to expand on the entertainment for your private event, we can work with you to devise a workshop, class or special project to help you reach your goals. Participants have the opportunity to express themselves and make connections in new ways as they explore making art together.
