After this class, you will be able to draw the lower body with a deeper understanding of how these parts of the body can be depicted in a foreshortened perspective and how their construction allows for figures to exist in the pictorial plane. A special emphasis will be placed on sitting, kneeling, standing, and laying and how they relate to the ground plane.
The class includes a mix of 30-second gestural drawings, 1-minute, 5-minute, and 10-minute poses followed by a final 20-minute pose. The class has one model who will be nude during each pose. All phones will be collected at the start of the class and available during breaks.

In April 2023, it began hosting figure drawing sessions with a weekly event called Queer Figure Drawing. Since then, The Brooklyn Loft has expanded its offerings to 5-6 sessions a week, pushing the boundaries of traditional figure drawing with themes such as Britney Spears, Barbie, Beyoncé, and burlesque. Additionally, the studio has diversified its workshops to include collage, poetry, and other hobbies beyond figure drawing.
