TWO FABULOUS WORKSHOPS ARE COMING UP!

3-Day Composition Workshop with Marshall Vandruff
Fri-Sun, March 19th-21st, 12pm-7pm
$375.00

5-Day Figure Workshop with Steve Huston
(2-Days Drawing, 3-Days Painting)
Wed-Sun, March 24th-28th, 10am-5pm
$795.00

Figure Painting Demo with Steve Huston
March 27th, 7pm-10pm
Only $50.00

Marshall’s COMPOSITION FOR ARTISTS begins with an explanation of how artists design their work to emotionally affect a viewer, and how these design choices are far more important to the impact of a masterpiece than skillful technique or correctness. Marshall gives a series of concentrated lectures extracted from a semester-length DRAWING FROM THE MASTERS course. He focuses on the compositions of great masters and the principles behind all successful artistic forms, principles that have been basic to composing art from the beginning.

Steve’s 5-DAY FIGURE WORKSHOP is an artist’s best dream. Steve is an amazing teacher, artist and a workshop favorite. Come glean a little of Steve’s drawing genius. This workshop is a rare treat as Steve doesn’t make it into Southern California often. I will guarantee you Steve will improve the way you draw and paint. If you can’t come to full workshop, at least sign up for the figure demo on Saturday night March 27th. You will learn a tremendous amount just by watching him lay-in a painting!

Oscar-nominated Animated Feature Symposium

Moderated by animator and animation historian Tom Sito

The Animated Feature Symposium celebrates the work of the 2009 Oscar nominees in the Animated Feature Film category. The nominees (schedules permitting) will discuss their creative process and the development of their films, and present clips illustrating their techniques. This year’s symposium will be nearly twice as lively as last year’s inaugural event, as there are five nominated films in this category instead of just three.

The 2009 nominees are:

“Coraline” – Henry Selick
“Fantastic Mr. Fox” – Wes Anderson
“The Princess and the Frog” – John Musker and Ron Clements
“The Secret of Kells” – Tomm Moore
“Up” – Pete Docter

Samuel Goldwyn Theater
8949 Wilshire Boulevard
Beverly Hills, CA 90211

Starts at 7:30pm, doors open at 6:30pm

Looks like tickets are still available:
