Free Beginning Drawing Class at the Los Angeles Academy of Figurative Art Sat Feb.6th, 11:00 am – 2:00 pm.
This Free Instructed Class is for people who are new to LAAFA, and have never studied with us before (one free class per person). The free drawing class will encourage you to see with your eyes and to draw with your hand. Instruction will be given in simple shading, lighting, core shadows, and learning to draw through an object. This is an excellent opportunity for students with little to no formal drawing training at all. Learning to translate what you see to paper is an exercise that will challenge you in new ways, keeping your brain and your imagination piqued. Come give it a try!
Bring your 18×24 pad of newsprint, some charcoal, a graphite pencil, a kneaded eraser, your right brain, and enjoy a class on the house. Our hope is that you realize how important art can be in your life, for without it we merely exist.
More experienced artists can also benefit from one of these classes. Bring along your work, and during the class, our instructor will take some one-on-one time with you to give you a free portfolio review. Find out where you are with your skill level, and where you can go!
If you would like to register for this class, call 818.708.9232!

Neil Gaiman Speaking
Neil Gaiman is presented by UCLA Live.
After years as the most famous writer you’d never heard of, Neil Gaiman’s recent Hollywood successes have propelled him into celebrity orbit. After co-writing the films “Beowulf” and “Stardust,” the animated version of his novella, “Coraline,” was released in 2009 to unanimous rave reviews. But Gaiman has been a prominent and prolific creator of comics, novels, film, journalism and poetry for more than two decades. He created the best-selling DC Comics series “Sandman,” which was the first comic ever to receive a major literary award. “The Graveyard Book,” published in 2008, received the Newbery Medal, the top prize for children’s literature. At the podium, Gaiman shares stories of imagination and urges audiences to take note of the creative ideas that linger in each of us.
Tickets: $48, 36, 24 – purchase online. UCLA students $15 – online.

About the Gnomon Gallery
The Gnomon Gallery is Hollywood’s premiere art gallery for the entertainment industry.
The Gnomon Gallery was founded in the Summer of 2008 by Alex Alvarez, the Founder and CEO of the Gnomon School of Visual Effects and The Gnomon Workshop. Over fifteen years in the industry, Alex has met scores of artists at well-known animation, effects and game studios whose phenomenal personal artwork was rarely seen by the public in a traditional gallery setting. With this in mind, the gallery was created to spotlight these exceptional talents and give them their well deserved recognition.
Every month we are proud to host a new show in the gallery with an opening reception that features music, food and, of course, the artists. These events are free and open to the public, so please drop by and check out some amazing artwork from genres that range from sci-fi to fantasy, creatures, vehicles, props, environments, sketches and sculpture.
We are located at 1015 North Cahuenga Blvd. in the Television Center building in Hollywood, CA 90038. View map. Gallery hours are 10:00 am – 6:00 pm, Monday – Friday.
