Figure Drawing Class: Venus with Biceps (video)

The representation of women’s strength in art and in contemporary media.

During this figure drawing class we challenge classical perceptions of what form a woman should take. We start with an examination of way in which women’s strength has been represented in both art history and modern photography. Celebrate the range of ways that the bodies of women can be represented – and exist! Explore this complex topic with openness and curiosity, while we create our own drawings along the way.

G Caruso is the artist-instructor of the Figure Drawing and Painting Workshop Series at Berlin Drawing Room. Online, as well as in person, drawing and painting classes.
