In this live online session led by tutor Hira Gedikoglu, students will have the unique opportunity to draw both from a live model and a real dog, while exploring the rich folklore and mythologies surrounding dogs. Dogs have long held a powerful place in storytelling across cultures, often appearing as guardians, guides, and companions in moments of transition. This workshop will weave together observational drawing and narrative tradition, inviting students to consider the symbolic resonance of dogs while developing skills to capture their form, movement, and spirit.
Working from the stability of the human model and the natural, constantly shifting poses of the dog, students will be encouraged to embrace quick studies and responsive looking as part of the drawing process.
Each Digital Studio session makes use of the School's multi-camera digital studio to create drawing-from-observation opportunities that are only possible online. Tutors offer guidance throughout to help students approach different poses and get the most out of each session.
Please note: online models will not pose nude. Models in this series will be semi-clothed.
