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
