Pocono Arts to hold figure drawing workshops next month

Pocono Arts, 18 N. Seventh St., Stroudsburg will offer figure drawing workshops from 6 to 9 p.m. on the first four Wednesdays in July.

There will be a professional costumed model at each session.

These energetic workshops will focus on direct drawing, from the theatrically costumed and fashionably dressed professional model.

Participants will draw through a range of exciting approaches, learning to draw more freely, confidently and courageously.

This workshop is open to adults and teens.

The instructor, Ted Michalowski, graduated from Marywood University with a bachelor of fine arts in illustration and literature in 1998.

He attended Syracuse Independent Study Program to receive his master's degree in illustration in 2002. He is currently an instructor at Marywood, where he teaches figure drawing, history of American illustration, two-dimensional design and color and coordinates figure drawing studio programs.

He is also a courtroom artist for media coverage of high-profile trials and has been broadcast by the major news networks.

He is a roster artist in residence for various schools and teaches in the Arts Alive and Ever Art programs.

Tuition is $40/$30 for members/senior members; and $50/$40 for nonmembers/senior nonmembers.
