Class I am Teaching: Interested in Taking an Erotic/Bondage Art Class??

Interested in Taking an Erotic/Bondage Art Class??

I have been asked on a number of occasions over the last year if I would be interested in teaching an art class at The Boston Haven. But before committing to such an endeavor, I want to see how much interested there is by others.

Why have Me teach the class?

Well for those of you who do not know me, I am a Fine Artist who does large scale highly realistic figure drawings with a Master’s Degree from The School of the Museum of Fine Arts and Tufts University, also known as, The Boston Museum School. I have taught art classes over the last 5 years to name a few, at The School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, MA, California State University of Long Beach, CA and at The Museum of Latin American Art, Long Beach, CA, where I was also the Artist in Resident.

If I were to teach a class, it will be more in the manner of how I have always taught my classes. This means the class would not just be a show up when you feel like it kind of class and mess around, though that is fun too. This would be more of a course you would take at any Art College or Art Institute with an erotic twist.

 

 So if you are interested in…

• Careful rendering of various subject matter drawn from direct observation!!!
• Value, focusing deep contrast into shadows and gentle gradations.
• Close attention to mundane or ordinary things transformed into carefully rendered drawings.
• Using various spatial systems such as linear perspective, illusion of three-dimensional space, aerial views and other ways of creating/organizing space.

The course would be a mixed media (dry and wet) drawing course in which I encourage the use of a variety of materials and explore the relationship between the media and process. There will be demonstrations of material, technique, conceptual strategies and the investigation in relation to mixed media with the aid of one or two bound models at a time for you to draw from, to focus on skills such as composition, light and dark and technical mastery of drawing the human form.

This course will be open to all from beginner to the more advanced skill level. It would be a 6-8 meeting course that would meet every other week for 3-4 hours each meeting date. There will also be a few outside of class projects to practice what you have learned and hone your skills with.

Instead of charging for the class each time you show up there will be a one time fee to be paid so that I can book and pay the models for the course in which you will be drawing from. Most classes taught like this can cost in upwards of $600-$1200 per course at an Art School and $200-$450 at most Museums like the MFA in Boston, MA. I am thinking of charging a cost of $165 per person.

 

The money will go to:

• Model: normally paid $20-30/hour but our will be bound and nude and will need to be paid more for their time.
• Teacher: normally I get paid $35-50/hour to teach and will be taking a VERY modest fee that will not even equal $10/hour.
• Space: normally costs $400 for 3-4 hours and will be paying a much lower fee for the class time (thank God… a.k.a. Goddess Arsine)

 

If you are interested in taking the course please state so below. As ideas are welcome please do not list them in this thread. I would prefer you to email me for that. Thank you

UPDATED --> with Q&A People Wish List for my NEW Drawings!!!!!

Hey everyone

Some of you are asking the same questions so let me answer them for you:

1. "What is this for?"
This is for my Solo Graduate Thesis Show in April of 2011. The main idea is tomake 8-10 drawings with the movers and shakers of the Boston Fetish Scene to take part in this project. So if you are on the list in my mind you have met my needs for the project. There is more to it then this but it is all I can share at this time. For further information on the concept for my Thesis Show you will have to come see the show and read my thesis artist statement.

2. "What do you want me to do?"
Easy, be yourself and do what you are okay with. Remember, not only will people within our fetish community see this work but so will the outside art world community. Your real names will not be used in the work but each piece will be labeled with your fetish a.k.a. name. Each drawing will be about YOU and YOUR personal fetishes and I am just the lookie-lou taking the photos documentation for it and later I will use the photos to draw from. So really it can be as tame with yourself fully clothes or as crazy as you like. You come up with what you what to do for the drawing. Run a few of your ideas by me before hand and then we shoot.

Ideas: The environment will not be drawn so don't worry about a set design or anything like that. It will just be a black sheet, one single light and me with a camera.  The new work will not strictly be BDSM based work. I am looking for elements of BDSM but I am also hoping to have more SEXUAL CONDUCT as well.

Meaning I am looking for half dressed fetish clothing (can be costume), full or partial nudity, sexual penetration, cock, pussy and ass worship, Domme and Dom with slaves, FemDom penetration, spanking, wax play, you fill in the blank.
straight partners, bisexual, pansexual, tyrannies (m/f (and f/m) and the list goes on.

Article: "Dear Triple B": Art Review in The Boston Phoenix on June 25, 2010

Miss Adventure. Need Advice on a delicate matter of a sexual nature? Seeking a women’s perspective on carnal pleasure?



Dear Miss Adventure,
I am interested in adult theater but tired of boring porn shows and strip clubs. Where can I see something different in exotic entertainment in the Boston Area?
                                                                                         - Backstage Betty in Brockton

Dear Triple B,
You are too late, for now. You should have checked out the hottest show around, the daring, dynamic duo of Tiiu and Eric X (last week at Sin-O-Matic) who have wowed crowds in the past with their eye-popping, boundary-crossing, jaw-dropping, fire extinguisher-getting erotic performances. Their recent act "Lover's Revenge," brought the pair back with extra special props such as body bags, gas masks, body paint.

Here, Tiiu comments, “When I joined the Boston fetish community, I  saw a lack of an actual fetish theme and a need from the community for more dynamic fetish-based performances. After much discussion with Eric X, we chose to push the limits of what can be done in a public setting, even with the restrictions in Boston. Our first show in 2009, “Dom-Me” was a performance about two dominant switchs pushing several high-intensity fetishes to engages the viewer. Since then, we’ve hesitated to perform again because of all the hype.

People have asked us, ‘How are you guys going to top that?!’ I asked, ‘When is the last time you saw a full-stage set at a club?’ This time around every element has been considered – how we dress, makeup, environment and theme became our focus. It’s a lot to incorporate for only two people, but we feel it should be done.

Since Eric X and I have similar fetishs, performing together only enhances the way we communicate and interact with one another, making for a stronger relationship. Our chemistry comes out naturally when we perform together, it’s less of an act and more of who we are individually and as a unit.”

Eric X adds, “It is easier to perform with Tiiu which helps the performance to be more extreme, pushing the limits of what can be possible. Performing with others, you have the obstacle of what you can and cannot do due to the person’s likes and dislikes or their partner’s play restrictions.

Our performance will not be one of the lackluster performances that the scene has plenty of already, instead it is edgy… raw… and passionate. We have chemistry which is very evident in our final product if we go as planned or falter.’

Senses Working Overtime: #34 Fetish Fair Fleamarket
                                                                                                             - By Miss Adventure

With a fistful of shamelessly self-promoting flyers and a toy bag full of dreams, Miss Adventure (accompanied by the handsome Mr. Adventure) headed for the 34th Fetish Fair Fleamarket over Valentine's Day weekend. Sin city of the east coast, Providence, Rhode Island, played host with the Westin Hotel as home to the kink convention...

... By now, we were parched, pooped and thus headed to our room to repair and refresh for the night's activities. On the schedule, a private play party billed as "Twisted!" Happy to report back: it was, like a pretzel with much much mustard. The scene was made in an anon art gallery where hot dominas and dreamy doms came out to flog the obedient subs that were in abundance. Other folk, like us, were having an enthusiastic look-see.

Outfitted in a Brute Force corset and plying her formidable skills was stunning Mistress Deanna, who made a lasting impression with some nifty implements, including a pair of red deer skin flogger and scorpion whip. Interesting art of all persuasions everywhere you looked (and sat).

Next, "Dom-Me" drew our attention with tantalizing, switched-up fetish tableaus, played out con brio by underground artist Tiiu Ashcraft and Eric X, that stimulated and stunned the crowd to thunderous applause. And you wonder what they do when they're not on stage. Catch the dynamic duo at fetish nights, Jaded and Sin-O-Matic in months to come.

With that, Mr. A and I retired to create "tableaus" of our own. See you at FFF 35 this summer!!

The (mis)Adventures of Ms Nisha: Tiiu Ashcraft - Fetish Artist and Beauty

Tiiu Ashcraft - Fetish Artist and Beauty

She takes her tools - charcoal, conte, carbon powder, ink, acrylic - and shapes them on her large pieces of paper. From what seems a simple sheet, she bends them, marks her target, and from this act an image emerges.

Tiiu captures the most intimate exchanges of bdsm in her work.

Each moment is but that, as the Creatrix, ensures that it shall have its own life. There is no shellac, no fixative or other preservatives. The piece will fade overtime, and the memory will remain.

The Creatrix will be on display soon, and if you are in the area (or wish a Spring Break) you should visit the Rochester Erotic Arts Festival. She will be there and her animate images need not be missed.
