Drawing Basics - with Rowena Fry and Denise Durkin
$168.00 - $202.00
16 November to 7 December
8-week class
This class offers a unique opportunity to explore drawing basics with two different tutors, Rowena Fry and Denise Durkin. Together they explore drawing techniques that add depth and volume, and examine composition through positive and negative space and organisational line drawing — building a varied, hands-on toolkit for seeing and drawing space with confidence.
About Rowena Fry:
When I’d come home from school, I’d grab a snack to eat and then settle in to draw. Now my favourite job is to welcome kids in the door and start doing the same thing.
With a background in theatre and film, I am now an art teacher of primary school-aged kids, adults, and the retired. I studied design and fine art at Inverlochy Art School, Massey and Victoria before graduating with a Bachelor of Design, majoring in illustration. I teach classes at Inverlochy Art School, Malvina Major Retirement Village and privately.
About Denise Durkin:
After many years, I have arrived at the description of practicing artist and art tutor at Inverlochy Art School who loves drawing, painting, and printmaking. Graduating from Wellington Polytechnic School of Design in 1989, I initially worked in graphic design and illustration before returning to fine art practice through life drawing and painting at Inverlochy Art School. Beginning with attending the casual life drawing classes in 2000, by 2011 I was co-ordinating life drawing and tutoring drawing, life drawing and printmaking.
Creating and delivering workshops and classes has grown to include tutoring at The Wellington Museum, Wellington City Art Gallery and the New Zealand Portrait Gallery, as well as travelling to give workshops in life drawing.
