Anatomy for Artists, Life Drawing, Painting
While gaining knowledge of the fundamental principles of perception (light,
plane, structure, tonal value, perspective, proportion), students in Costa Vavagiakisä class
will learn to construct images that realistically and accurately interpret the anatomical
architecture and movement of the human figure in space. This solid foundation will
enable students to express their personal creative vocabulary more clearly and effectively.
The drawing class will consist of short and long poses, acquainting students with the
preliminary process of understanding the essentials of the figure, while providing the
opportunity to develop a more complete drawing. The painting class will consist of threeweek
poses allowing the student to delve into the process in order to attain a fully
realized painting.
Costa Vavagiakis is featured in the publication CURVE the Female Nude Now
and in an article in American Artist drawing magazine.
His most recent solo show was at Hackett-Freedman Gallery, San Francisco,
California. He also recently appeared in exhibitions at the Frye Art Museum,
Seattle,Washington, The Perception of Appearance:A Decade of Contemporary
American Figure Drawing; at the Staten Island Museum, Staten Island, New York, About
Faces: Portraits Past and Present; and at ACA Galleries in New York City, Continuum:
Celebrating the 130th Anniversary of the Art Students League of New York.
Mr.Vavagiakis was the recipient of a 2000-2001 Pollock-Krasner Foundation
Grant and the 2001 Gregory Millard Fellowship from the New York Foundation for the
Arts.
