What to do?
A large number of our customers take
advantage of the numerous resources available locally to begin or further
develop their creative skills by enrolling in art classes or participating
in drawing co-operatives. Below is a small sampling (for a more extensive
list click here or on our RESOURCES link).
The Art Academy
(1550 Summit Avenue, Saint Paul) offers drawing and painting
lessons for children ages 5-8, 9-18, and adults. Classes stress the
fundamentals of technique and structure through the copying of the works
of masters. Established in 1993 by James Robinson,
he considers this as the formative step in developing the student's
own style. Tel: (651) 699-1573.

The Atelier
(1681 E Hennepin Ave - Suite 280, Minneapolis) prides itself
on passing on to their students a method of instruction that melds formal
academic training with the influence of the French Impressionists.
Emphasis is placed on developing the student's ability to observe and
render proportion and value relationships. Tel: (612) 362-8421.

The Florence Hill
Figure Drawing Co-op
(California Building, Fifth Floor, 75-22nd St NE, Minneapolis) was
founded by Florence Hill in 1976 and has met 2-5pm
every Sunday ever since -- including ANY holiday that might fall on
a Sunday! It’s very professionally run, but the co-op is not run
as a business -- anyone is free to show up, pay the modest model fee
($6) and participate. Tel. (612) 782-0353.
