Welcome to the Monart Art School of Ottawa
Our studio is a
licensed Monart Drawing School - a place where anyone
can learn to draw and discover new ways to express his or
her creative fire! We offer classes for both children and
adults - whether you are 5 or 95, come and join
us!
Just as learning musical notes is fundamental to playing
an instrument or practicing ballet positions is basic to a
dancer, learning to draw is a foundation for all of the visual
arts and a true life-skill that can foster an appreciation
for the natural world, stimulate a creative spirit, and even
enrich a career. Find out more about the Monart
method and the Monart Art School
of Ottawa on this website, and make sure to check back
regularly to see what's new!
Sunday Figure Drawing Open to the Public
The Monart Art School of Ottawa is pleased to open a limited number of seats to the public in the Sunday Figure Drawing program - a popular component of
the atelier curriculum!
Learn the art of figure drawing using our step-by-step method. Beginner and advanced students will benefit from this drawing workshop. Students will be working directly from the nude using charcoal or carbon pencil.
The instructor will teach you the basics of gesture, proportion, and morphology, finally finishing with big and small form modelling. The end effect is a dramatic three dimensional figure.
The two long poses in this workshop will last for 6 sessions each.
For more information on the 2012 Sunday Figure Drawing program's schedule, course supplies and cost, please consult the fine art workshops section of this site.
