Teens interested in mastering classical (realistic) drawing techniques to the standards of the great Renaissance masters are invited to pursue this 100% free series of classes introducing young artists to the latest international art trend: the “atelier method.” Supplies provided. Drawing three-dimensional objects and thinking about light and shadow gives students a deeper perspective on what it means to see the world around them. Classes are taught by Leo Neufeld, a former Copyist at both the National Gallery of Art (Washington, D.C.) and the Metropolitan Museum of Art (NYC). Mr. Neufeld has studied at the National Academy of Design (NYC) the Art Students League (NYC), and the New York Academy of Art. The winner of numerous awards and commissions, Mr. Neufeld is also an art educator who has successfully mentored students at Albuquerque High School. Participation is free, but please call the Library at (505) 867-1440 to register as places are limited.
