Copying works from the masters is a rare opportunity that can greatly affect the knowledge of the individual artist. Close examination of such master works results in the better understanding of the decision-making processes and many techniques of the master artist. This class is designed to offer the student the chance for intensive study of master paintings with palette in hand. Drawing, design, and color relationships will be emphasized. The class will copy works of interest selected by the individuals of the class. There will be short weekly lectures and demos on varying topics related to the master works as well as handouts pertaining to the individual artists chosen. The class is subject to the rules and regulations for copying that the Metropolitan has in place and students will be required to renew the permit to copy every four weeks. This class is for those with intermediate or advanced skill levels. Students may paint or draw.
