Art; American Academy of Arts and Letters; The Brooklyn Museum and National Portrait
Gallery among many others.
During this five day workshop, students will work from the
figure in their choice of paint or pastel, developing a bold and
direct approach to the human form and their choice of media.
Work from the model will be structured to advance quickly,
acquiring confidence and competence through a general rather
than particular response to a variety of poses each day. This workshop presents the opportunity to study with a unique and extraordinary artist whose
work embraces traditional skills while addressing contemporary themes. Goodmans work is
typified by an insistence on and responsiveness to the human condition–imaginative, compelling
and sometimes disturbing.
Developing A Bold Approach to the Figure is scheduled for 9:30 am-4:30 pm, February 18-22,
2000. Enrollment limited to 20 students. Tuition is $490.
