*SmArt School teachers sometimes have to travel for professional reasons. If they must miss a class they will notify all students during class time and add a session to the end of the calendar. No class is held during Thanksgiving, Illuxcon Week**, or between Christmas and New Years. All Classes meet live and are not recorded due to proprietary content. Teaching will not happen via email, only during class time.
**At the time of the spring enrollment, ILLUXCON was still planning to meet, but has since been cancelled-check in with your individual teacher when classes begin to fin out if they will teach through this week or be staying with the above week off.

GESTURE AND EMOTION IN CONTEMPORARY FIGURATIVE PAINTING
This class is for artists who want to show in art galleries and who work primarily in traditional media. The human form evokes a direct and powerful response in the viewer. In this mentorship students will learn how to depict specific body language for the purposes of personal expression. Using visual storytelling methods developed in illustration Rebecca helps students understand their own relationship to the figure and its communicative capacity. At the end of the semester the owners of Haven gallery will provide feedback on student work.
After taking this class students will also receive a free profile on the Smarter Art Market, a destination for art directors and collectors.
