Visual Arts Workshop CANCELLED
— The Humble Line —
The Hoffman Center for the Arts in Manzanita will offer a series
of eight drawing classes in 2020, led by Manzanita artist Ben Rosenberg.
This course is designed to teach students how to translate what their eyes see to paper. Students will learn how to use line, gesture, value and composition through observations of still life and the figure. Students will develop expressive content through accurate seeing, measurement, perspective, and proportion. This workshop is ideal for the person with little or no experience in drawing. By the end of the sessions, students will be in love with drawing.
Instructor Ben Rosenberg has been a working professional artist and illustrator since the 1980’s. His illustrations have appeared in the New York Times, the New Yorker, The Oregonian, Portland Tribune, Willamette Week, Johns Hopkins University, Hewlett-Packard, and the Philadelphia Daily News among other publications. His fine art ranges from drawings, paintings, tiles, ceramics, sculptures, and public art commissions. His work is in private collections both nationally and abroad. He is represented in Portland by Augen Gallery. Ben’s work can be viewed here
