About the Class
Please Note- This class will be taught by Rebecca Yanovskaya on January 15th and several weeks in February.
Learn about creating a portrait from the master, Robert Collins from Montserrat College of Art. In this fun laid-back class, everyone learns at their own pace and from wherever they are starting from. At the beginning of each class, Bob will do one or more demonstrations. You can paint/draw along or just watch. Then Bob will walk around the room and offer individual help. We will have a model each week.
Supplies: Bring whatever supplies you would like to work with. If you are new to creating portraits, bring some charcoal and a large pad of paper to start and after a few sessions you may be inspired to try other things.
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.
