<h1>Take or Purchase an Art Class!</h1>
<p>There are endless benefits!</p>
<button class="accordion">Top Reasons to Take an Art Class</button>
<div class="panel">
<br />
<p><b>Learn or Be a Lifelong Learner!</b>
<br />Visual communication is a massive part of our culture! Drawing or painting is not a talent you are born with; anyone can learn to draw or paint with some basic instruction.</p>
<p><b>Create!</b>
<br />You finish a piece of artwork you take to show or give to your family or friends. </p>
<p><b>Cultivate!</b>
<br />You may surprise yourself or uncover hidden passions that you did not know you had. </p>
<p><b>Explore, Experiment, or Play!</b>
<br />Make a mess, increase creativity, or enhance open-mindedness.</p>
<p><b>Be Inspired!</b>
<br />Expose yourself to new environments or surround yourself with other creative types who will inspire you. </p>
<p><b>Exercise Your Brain!</b>
<br />Enhance motor skills, hand-eye coordination, problem-solving, lateral thinking, complex analysis, or critical thinking skills.</p>
<p><b>Socialize or Connect!</b>
<br />In-person classes or workshops are excellent opportunities to get to know others with similar interests!</p>
<p><b>Relieve Stress!</b>
<br />It's important to remember to take some time for yourself.</p>
<p><b>Find Your Voice!</b>
<br />When you learn under the guidance of a professional instructor, they will encourage you or get you unstuck. </p>
<p><b>Challenge Yourself!</b>
<br />To be a master, you only need a supportive community and practice.</p>

<h1>In the Studio</h1>
<p>Studio art classes or workshops take place in an ample studio space where learners work on their 2D visual art under the supervision of an instructor. Easels, tables, or chairs are usually provided with some art supplies or consumable materials.</p>
<p>Studio art is the creation of the Visual Arts through painting, drawing, ceramics, sculpture, photography, printmaking, glass, fiber, design, etc. Studio art is also defined as visual art that is made in a studio or visual art that is similar to art that is made in a studio.</p>
<p>Currently, we only offer 2D Visual Art classes, not 3D.</p>

<h1 id="Life Drawing">Studio Vocabulary</h1>
<p>"<b>The Arts</b>" is a modern umbrella term for a broad category that includes some of the artist's disciplines, such as the performing arts, conceptual art, and the "<b>visual arts</b>." This consists of some vocabulary to get you acclimated.</p>
<button class="accordion">What are the Visual Arts?</button>
<div class="panel">
<br />
<p>The "<b>Visual Arts</b>" category includes fine art and applied decorative arts or crafts. Traditional <b>2D </b>provides drawing, painting, design, printmaking, and calligraphy. Traditional <b>3D</b> includes sculpture, metalsmithing, woodworking, jewelry making, origami, glass blowing, glass cutting or fusing, ceramics, monuments, and architecture. Modern includes assemblage, collage, mixed media, fiber art, photography, digital art, and installations.</p>
<p>"<b>Studio Art</b>" means working in a place set up for using art supplies or various materials.</p>
</div><!--End Panel-->
<button class="accordion">What is a 'Studio'?</button>
<div class="panel">
<br />
<p>A "<b>Studio" </b>is an artist or worker's personal workroom. Studios can be found in various locations, from commercial buildings to home garages. An art school or artist may rent or own them, ranging in size from small, intimate spaces to large, warehouse-like environments.</p>
<p>A single "<b>studio</b>" is an artist's or worker's workroom. The word 'studio' is derived from the Italian word that means to study: studio, from Latin: studium, from studere, meaning to examine.</p>
</div><!--End Panel-->
<button class="accordion">What is 'Open Studio' for Practice?</button>
<div class="panel">
<br />
<p>An "<b>Open Studio</b>" is an environment where individuals work hands-on or independently to practice the Visual Arts within a group setting outside the structure of a formal class. </p>
<p>An <b>Open Studio</b> facilitates social learning and makes participants accountable for practicing or improving their visual art skills. This allows participants to directly observe the work that others produce or see the unique process used firsthand when working with other creative individuals. </p>

<button class="accordion">What is 'Open Studio' for 'Life Modeling'?</button>
<div class="panel">
<br />
<p><b>Life Modeling</b> or <b>figure drawing</b>, sometimes called "Life Drawing Open Studio." allows students to practice sketching, drawing, or painting outside of a formal class within a studio setting. </p>
<p><b>Figure or live model drawing</b> is an academic tradition that evolved in the 18th century. Each session provides a live model where students may directly observe the human anatomy or anatomical features from life. A clothed, costumed, or nude <b>model</b> will pose for a set time. A facilitator or moderator is always present and will set a timer for each pose.</p>
<p>Some <b>life modeling</b> or <b>figure drawing</b> classes are formally structured classes that may use a live model during the session and include a model fee.</p>

<h3>The History</h3>
<p>European artists began to form artistic academies in the Renaissance and early Baroque eras. From the establishment of the <i>Accademia di San Luca</i> in Rome in 1577 to the creation of the <i>Académie de Peinture et de Sculpture</i> in Paris in 1648, art academies rapidly developed from merely a network of artists to a relatively systematized sequence of training, where the study of the figure became more codified.</p>
<p>By the late 1700s, "life drawing" was integral to studio practice at the Académie in Paris. Mastery in life drawing was considered a prerequisite to painting after Masters like Neoclassical painter Jacques Louis David advocated for his students to draw from live models for the better part of each day. </p>

<p>Though men were given access to both male and female nudes, women were confined to learning anatomy from casts and models. It was not until 1893 that female students were allowed access to life drawing at the Royal Academy in London, and even then, the model was required to be partially draped.</p>

<button class="accordion">What is an Atelier?</button>
<div class="panel">
<br />
<p>An "<b>Atelier</b>" is a French word that translates to "workshop" or "studio" in English. It is commonly used in the art and fashion industries to describe a space where artists, designers, or craftsmen create their work. </p>
<p>In the past, training in the traditional visual arts was through a variation of an apprenticeship, a workshop system called an "<b>Atelier</b>" under a master artist, or, in modern times, through an art school or an art program under a university or college. However, in the 21st century, art education has forged a new path with various options, including in-person classes or online tutorials.</p>

<h4>No Photography of Nude Models</h4>
<p><b>Live Model Nude Photography</b> is <b>NEVER</b> allowed. Refer to the section on live models for more information on policy versus etiquette. </p>
<h4>Find Reference Photographs</h4>
<p>When working with reference photography, look for a <b>Creative Commons</b> license.
</p>
<h4>What is a Creative Commons License?</h4>
<p>It is one of several public copyright licenses that enable the free distribution of an otherwise copyrighted "work." This license is used when an author wants to give others the right to share, use, and build upon a work they have created.</p>
<ol>
<li><b><a href="https://pixabay.com/" target="_blank">Pixaby</a></b> is a site that offers images that have a Creative Commons license.</li>
<li><a href="https://unsplash.com/" target="_blank"><b>Unsplash </b></a>has freely usable images powered by creators everywhere.</li>
<li><b><a href="https://morguefile.com/" target="_blank">MorgueFile</a> </b>free images for creatives, by creatives,</li>
</ol>
<h4>Copyright Laws</h4>
<p>The general rule in copyright law is that the <b>work's author</b> is also the copyright owner. Photographers hired on an independent contractor basis or for a specific job are usually the copyright owners of the photographs, even if the pictures were taken for a client.</p>
</div>
<button class="accordion">Life Drawing</button>

<h4>Policy</h4>
<p>Life drawing sessions in class or the open studio have their own policies and etiquette. </p>
<h4>DO NOT's</h4>
<ul>
<li><b>NEVER</b> touch the model or correct the model's pose.</li>
<li><b>Photography</b> is <b>NEVER</b> permitted during a <b>nude</b> session. Taking a shot of any model while posing nude is <b>NOT</b> allowed under any circumstance, with no exceptions, even if the model agrees! We will ask you to delete the image and leave it immediately.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Etiquette</h4>
<p><b>Live Model Etiquette</b> refers to some basic guidelines when working with a live model.</p>
<h4>DO's</h4>
<ul>
<li><b>Tip</b> the model. It is encouraged. If you liked the model's poses or felt they did well, please tip them when the session ends. </li>
<li>Be <b>quiet</b> while they are posing. Too much movement or noise makes it hard for them to hold the pose. </li>
<li>Remember, the model is here to do a job. Please respect their break time and <b>limit</b> your conversations accordingly.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Situational Awareness</h4>
<ul>
<li><b>Photography</b> is <b>ONLY</b> permitted during a clothed or costumed session and at the model's discretion. If you want to take reference photographs of them, please ask them first! They may or may not charge a fee for each picture, as this is their profession, and they are entitled to do so. </li>

<h1>Our Story</h1>
<p>We didn't know we were a thing until we got the <i>"verve."</i> The definition of the word "verve" is the energy or enthusiasm behind expressing an idea. </p>
<button class="accordion">How We Got Our Start?</button>
<div class="panel">
<br />
<p>On one hot summer's day in 2015, a local art organization in Tucson, Arizona, received an unexpected donation.</p>
<p>After providing a dance every Saturday night since 1972, "Singles & Friends," a non-profit organization, donated their building fit for a dance hall to the <b>Tucson Pastel Society (TPS)</b>.</p>
<p>Conveniently located at <b>1st and Grant</b> with an ample open space spanning <b>1,832 square feet</b>, this building was perfect for studio art classes and workshops. </p>

<p>Upon receiving this generous donation, the Tucson Pastel Society, an existing 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, would call upon the surrounding <b>community's aid</b> to help raise maintenance funds.</p>
<p>In the spring of <b>2016</b>, a small group of <b>independent artists</b> began teaching art classes at the site to help maintain and renovate the building and bring it up to city code.</p>
<p> Those classes were well received, students requested more, and the Art Verve Academy became a thing.</p>

<button class="accordion">What's an Art Verve?</button>
<div class="panel">
<br />
<p><i>Verve </i>is synonymous with vigor, defined as the energy or enthusiasm behind expressing an idea, and it is vital in the creative process! Whether they know it or not, artists need this stuff to keep creating. Notice how we said, "Keep on creating,"…</p>
<p>It's not an energy drink or a rock band…<b>' <i>verve'</i></b> is a noun synonymous with '<i><b>vigor</b></i>' defined as the following:</p>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>Energy or enthusiasm in expressing ideas, especially in artistic performance or composition. An example would be "the revival lacked the verve of the original musical." </li>
<li>vitality; liveliness</li>
</ol>

<p>Have you ever taken a class and created something you liked or were really proud of, then thought, "I can do this!" You then proceed after the class with enormous motivation to go home or out into the world and create even more. You envision yourself creating a massive quantity of work or practicing day after day, honing your skills to become a master, only to find yourself a few weeks later staring at all of your art supplies collecting dust?</p>
<h4>You may need the artistic verve!</h4>
<p>Folks who create art, whether they are new to the process or masters, need inspiration, support, or a community in which to build. No one tells you that in art school, there is a romantic idea that you will graduate with your degree in art, step up a workspace, start creating, and presto. You become a professional artist!</p>
<p>On the other hand, for beginners or self-taught, there are so many reasons to create, but nothing seems to be happening in your workspace. It's similar to what's commonly referred to as writer's block but for visual artists. The secret ingredient is that a community or collective group of people is part of the equation, and you need that to be inspired, create with vigor, or get the enthusiasm behind an idea. </p>
<p>Whether you recognize it or not, you get the verve when participating in an art class. This event is why you get so motivated afterward beyond attending class or doing your homework. Art Guilds can also have the same effect. They facilitate events for people to draw or paint together.</p>
<p>History repeats itself over and over. Ever wonder why all those famous artists were always found hanging out with one another? A great example of this was the French Impressionists and their artistic movement. They all knew each other, hung out together, and sometimes even shared studio spaces. Together, they changed the world! </p>
<p>Some of the most famous artistic movements were spawned by art schools where the students collaboratively communicated ideas or inspiration with each other. The Bauhaus was a renowned art school in Germany and a perfect example of combining the visual arts with crafts. In the early 20th century, their students were responsible for the Art Deco movement and its incredible architectural designs that are now permanently reflected in New York's Chrysler Building. </p>
<p>These folks, with or without awareness, share artistic techniques and use each other as sounding boards for new ideas. Together, they formed the "verve" for one another, which motivated their community to continue to create over time. Barbara Streisand said it the best in the movie <i>Funny Girl</i>, <i>"People who need people are the luckiest people in the world."</i></p>
<p>Take a workshop or class, or join our community to experience the "verve" that will propel your artistic journey forward!</p>
