Art Assembly NZ is pleased to bring you two great courses with the talented Emma Theyers:

• Expressive Charcoal Drawing
18 & 19 April, 10.00am – 4.00pm, Country Lane's Assembly Room

Expressive drawing is one of the most freeing and rewarding ways to explore creativity. Unlike analytical drawing, which emphasises precision and proportion, expressive drawing allows  emotions, movement, and personality to take center stage. Whether you’re an experienced artist or just starting out, this approach can help you unlock new dimensions of your artistic journey.
Artist and reputable drawing tutor, Emma Theyers will guide an active, direct approach to investgating light, shadow and scale using charcoal on large formats.

If evenings are better for you, why not join:
• Figure Drawing over 7 Wednesday evenings 6.30 – 8.30pm
22, 29 April, 6, 13, 20, 27 May, 3 June
Country Lane's Assembly Room

The human figure is one of art’s greatest subjects. Life drawing and painting itself results in beautiful fine art and sketches. Figure drawing is the most powerful way to train your fundamental drawing skills, specifically values, gesture, form and observation. Figure drawing skills are critical to animation, story boarding and character design which are central to film, game and other design.
This 7-week figure drawing workshop explores the human figure through both traditional and experimental approaches. Participants will engage with observation, proportion, movement, and mark-making, using a range of materials and techniques. Each session encourages risk-taking, creative exploration, and personal expression, with references to both contemporary and historical artists serving as prompts to inspire experimentation and inform practice.
