As part of TAP’s core programming, education takes many forms, one of them being classes offered by TAP resident artist Eric Drummond. Organizing the students' learning in historical and classical techniques, Eric instills traditional methods to prepare materials, construct compositions, and develop skill to translate a live model.
The selection of works included in this exhibition focus on the act of observation itself. With the intention of creating accurate depictions while also capturing the essence of the human form these works demonstrate both the great value and challenge of working from life.
