CLARKSVILLE, TN – On June 12, the Community School of the Arts (CSA) at Austin Peay State University will host a figure drawing workshop for community members 18 years or older.
The workshop will cost $30 including materials.
Kell Black – professor emeritus for the APSU Department of Art + Design – will teach the workshop.
“Black has received numerous awards, including a National Endowment for the Arts/Southern Art Federation Individual Artist’s Grant in Drawing,” Dawn Martin Dickins, CSA coordinator, said. “He has exhibited his graphic work throughout the United States and Switzerland. He is also active as a paper engineer, and his work is in the permanent collection of Tennessee State Museum.”
Black has taught figure drawing for many years. You can see some of his work through the Cumberland Gallery Advisory’s website.
The class will explore proportion, line, value and composition by drawing the nude figure in a series of short and long poses. The class will be from 1-5 p.m., Saturday, June 12, at the Austin Peay Art + Design Building Room 107. The workshop will also be offered on July 10.
Registration for CSA summer classes is still open, though classes are filling up quickly. Additional information on this and other CSA offerings can be viewed at apsu.edu.

“We will continue to offer the incredible price of $5 an hour for instruction,” Dickins said. “However, there are some classes that will have additional fees due to needed materials and assistants. Needless to say, it’s still a pretty sweet deal.”
