About the Class
Please Note- This class will be taught by Rebecca Yanovskaya on January 15th and several weeks in February.
Learn to draw from the master, Robert Collins from the Montserrat College of Art.
This is a one-day class offered on a weekly basis. Sign up for one or several classes in a row. In this non-traditional set up, you will learn all the basics of drawing from whatever level you are at. Bob will teach new lessons each week and then give individual help during the session. You will be sure to learn new things each week and be reminded of things that you may have forgotten about over time. Composition, shading, light, value, perspective, line, and the importance of it all. There will be demonstrations where you can draw along or work on your own piece. Everyone will get individual feedback.
Supplies:
Bring whatever supplies you like to draw with. At a minimum bring a few pencils and some charcoal, and a pad of paper at least 11x14.
About the Teacher
Great teachers care about their students and their education, never wasting a minute or taking a day in the classroom for granted. The best teachers realize that it is the mastering of steps, taught with diligence, that enable great successes to occur. In that limited classroom time, teachers must supply the students with the necessary tools to become life-long learners, to have a firm foundation on which they can continue to build and fuel their passion. It is through this that the students will create their artistic vocabulary which will enable them to communicate visually through their work, for the rest of their lives.
Bob Collins has a BFA and MFA from Boston University. He studied under renowned artists such as James Weeks, David Ratner, Reed Kay, Morton Sacks, Philip Guston, Iso Papo, Harold Tovish, Robert DiRista, David Lund, Sidney Hurwitz, Joseph Ablow, Dorothy Bruce, and Jack Kramer.
He teaches drawing and painting courses at Rhode Island College, the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Danforth Museum School, the Brookline Arts Center, and the Merrimac Center for Professional Development. He has also taught at Boston University and the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth. In 2002, He was inducted into Who’s Who Among American Teachers for his contributions in Fine art and Industrial Design.
Robert Collins exhibits throughout the New England area. His paintings and drawings have been displayed in the Bernard Toale Gallery, Boston, the G. Watson Gallery, Stonington, Maine, the DeBlois Gallery, Newport, Rhode Island, the Bromfield Gallery, Boston, and the Danforth Museum of Art.
