Fall classes at The Art League start next week!

It’s still not too late to register, though. We’ve put together a video tour of just one week of classes to give you an idea of what’s going on — but these are only seven of over 200 classes (and 50 workshops) happening this Fall. So click here to search the full catalog of classes by medium, your favorite instructor, or time of day and day of the week.

Drawing on our video library of classes, here’s a look at some of the classes offered over one week at The Art League, starting on Monday, September 16 with …

Portrait Drawing with Jin Chung (Monday, 7:00–9:30 pm)

Chung teaches the fundamentals of portraiture in this class. Students may use their preferred medium while working from photographs and live models. This class is a great first step into seeing like a portrait artist. (Click here for the full list of Fall drawing classes and workshops.)

Tuesday: Silk Screen Printing with Nancy McIntyre (7:00–10:00 pm)

Just one of our entrees to printmaking, this class (also offered Mondays) shows students how to work with the silk screen and the possibilities of building layers of color. (Click here for the full list of Fall printmaking classes and workshops.)

Wednesday: Forensic Facial Reconstruction with Joe Mullins (7:00–10:00 pm)

Part sculpture class, part murder mystery, this seven-week class is taught by forensic artist Joe Mullins and shows students how the experts reconstruct a person’s appearance based on their skull. (Click here for some of our other uncommon classes and workshops.)

Thursday: The Watercolor Studio with Steve Fleming (1:00–5:00 pm)
