Spring classes at The Art League School are starting soon — but it’s not too late to register! Check out our online catalog to find that new class in a medium you want to try out, a style you want to learn, or a technique you want to master. In addition to our nine-week classes starting the week of April 8, there are shorter-term workshops taking place over a day or two. Here’s just some of what’s on tap one upcoming weekend:

• Drawing the Human Head with Rick Weaver (April 6 & 7): Working from a live model, learn the principles behind drawing the head, including the mechanics and anatomy of the head and neck.
• Basic Photographic Lighting Tools with Robin Reid (April 6): Learn about tools like flash, strobe, reflectors, umbrellas, gels, gobos, grids, and snoots, and how to make some of your own.
• Painting Children’s Rooms with Patrick Kirwin (April 6 & 7): Painting and drawing instructor Patrick Kirwin shares ideas and techniques for creating a unique environment in a child’s room or nursery.

We also just added a new seven-week class in Tapestry taught by Tea Okropiridze. You can register for Tapestry here, and read our interview with the instructor in this blog post.
