ART CLASS BKLYN with DAN FREEMAN
I invite you to embark on a creative journey that celebrates the world of fine art with a National Endowment Fellow and seasoned MFA Painter and Graphic Artist. I am excited to share my passion for drawing with fellow adults in leafy Lefferts Gardens, Brooklyn—just a short stroll from the site of iconic Ebbets Field.
In our classes, we will dive deep into the practice of observation. Together, we won’t just be looking; we’ll develop the ability to truly see and appreciate the beauty surrounding us. I am here to guide you as we transform your perceptions into tangible creations, cultivating a sincere artistic exploration that is as stimulating as it is fulfilling.
In your individualized classes, we will focus on the essential building blocks of drawing—line, gesture, tone, and form. We will immerse ourselves in sketching— drawing figures, and still-lifes (and potentially venturing outdoors for landscape painting if your interest and the weather permit). Our priority is to nurture your skills in figure drawing, with an eventual goal of progressing toward color portraiture.
What makes our approach unique is the one-to-one "no-embarrassment" teaching style that I employ. You should feel free to express yourself openly in a supportive environment designed just for your artistic development. We provide all necessary supplies, from paper and pencils, charcoal and conte crayons, along with explanation and discussion of the various media available to you to help you achieve your personal vision.
Throughout my years of teaching both children and adults, I have witnessed the transformative power of art.
I genuinely look forward to spending time with you and creating art together in a setting that promotes authenticity, encouragement, and personal growth. Let’s learn to create beautiful art!
