Intro to Academic Drawing
Evening Class | Available
In this class, students will be using the Sight Size Method, made popular by the Charles Bargue Drawing Course. Students will work "from the flat" and will learn to draw from the ground up. No experience necessary.
If you do have experience but are looking for a more reliable and repeatable approach to better accuracy and visual problem solving skills, this class is also for you.
This class is great for people who work full time or just want to try out a new way to approach drawing. You'll be working on the same type of project that our main program starts with but with a little extra attention and guidance. After this class, you can continue the next term with the same class and continue your projects, or move into the main program classes seamlessly.
You can also take this class as an additional "bargue/cast" class if you are in the main program.
Lyasya Sinkovski
Lyasya Sinkovski is a Boston-based artist and art instructor. She was born and raised in Moscow, Russia. Despite having drawn most of her life, Lyasya received a degree in Linguistics, summa cum laude, and made a successful career in marketing before switching to art. Lyasya was inspired by and studied Russian academic drawing techniques, but had no formal training. She has always strongly believed that drawing is a foundation of any skill-based art. In 2019 Lyasya received a scholarship at Academy of Realist Art, Boston. Since then, she completed the drawing part of the program and is now studying painting.
Loyal to her first love, drawing, Lyasya teaches Bargue/cast at ARA Boston, while giving private and small group art classes at her home studio in Roslindale and working on her personal projects, mostly portraits. Lyasya’s drawings has won several awards and have been exhibited in Boston City Hall.
