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.
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)
