What you'll do
Learn to draw with confidence in this beginner-friendly drawing course in Palo Alto. In this three-week class, students will explore the foundational drawing principles of the Reilly method through the study and construction of the Reilly Rhythm Chart. Developed from the teachings of master illustrator Frank J. Reilly, this system simplifies the complexity of the human head and figure into a series of flowing rhythmic lines that help artists understand structure, proportion, and movement.Through guided demonstrations from an encouraging instructor and hands-on exercises, you will learn how to map and memorize the key rhythms that organize the face and head. By constructing the chart step-by-step, you will gain a deeper understanding of how these rhythms connect anatomical landmarks and create a reliable framework for drawing from life or reference.This class is perfect for amateur artists looking to refine and strengthen their skills. Leave with the skill to draw heads and faces with more accuracy and confidence.

Your host
The Pacific Art League, originally known as the Palo Alto Art Club, has been a cornerstone of the arts community in Palo Alto, California, since its founding in 1921. Initially established by a group of around 40 artists, many of whom were connected to Stanford University, the club began as a gathering place for upper-class artists. Reflecting a shift towards a more inclusive and community-oriented approach, the organization transitioned from an exclusive club to a nonprofit arts institution. In 1984, the organization changed its name from the Palo Alto Art Club to the Pacific Art League to better reflect its evolving mission and growing influence beyond Palo Alto. Today, PAL operates as a vibrant nonprofit art school, gallery, and community hub. With a team of approximately 35-40 instructors, the League offers a diverse range of art classes, workshops, and summer camps on a quarterly basis, serving over 2, 000 students per quarter. PAL continues to nurture the arts by providing high-quality, inclusive educational programs that inspire creativity in individuals of all ages and skill levels.Our innovative, high-quality, and inclusive educational programs aim to enrich lives by empowering people to explore, express, and connect through the arts.
