Workshops @ The Bass | The Art of Seeing: Line and Gesture with Juan Pablo Bohórquez

The Art of Seeing: Line and Gesture begins with a visit to Sarah Crowner’s exhibition Faire Foyer: Sarah Crowner in Dialogue with Etel Adnan, where her reflective bronze sculptures embody movement, gesture, and organic form. Observing how her shapes seem to breathe and shift with light, we draw a connection between her sculptural language and the living human body.

From there, we move into the practice of drawing with a live model. We begin with short one- and two-minute poses, capturing the rhythm and gestural energy of the figure. As we progress to longer poses, structure and form take on a more prominent role in our study of the body. The focus is on observation, intuition, and the expressive potential of the line—learning not only to draw what we see, but to see with greater attention and presence.

Workshops @ The Bass are created for adults ages 21+ at any skill level. All materials are provided.

The class is $15 for museum members and $20 for nonmembers.
