The Open Studio Live Model project is an essential part of our students’ life drawing practice. It provides all visual arts students with an opportunity to practice their drawing skills and refine their observational abilities while drawing from live models. These weekly drawing sessions are offered after school one day per week and are highly recommended by faculty, especially since there is not sufficient time in the curriculum to offer these during the day. Regular drawing from live models should be a regular part of the curriculum of all artistic programs but due to a wide scope of demands on the students and the increase of technology, this has not been possible to maintain.
