This is where it all happens on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings at East Sydney Academy of Art for life drawing. A somewhat different experience to other life drawing groups, here the classes are accompanied by chilled jazz, an art appreciation talk and an intimate studio where artists are up close to the model.
Loosely based on the studio of Leonardo da Vinci, it follows the advice of Leonardo that a studio should be filled with a sensuous mixture of art, music and discussion. Several of the artists enjoy a red wine while they draw and all participate in the friendly mood of the drawing space.
The intimacy also stems from the size of the space, it is within a metre each way the ideal size for a studio as recorded by Leonardo in his note books. He said that small studio's breed discipline. He is right there, but what he did not say is that small studios also breed a special relationship between artists and models.
It is a pleasure to be part of such a long tradition and to benefit from such wise words.
Are these classes still running? If so, when's the last one for 2008 and when do they start up again in 2009? Thanks.

Let’s get the pun out of the way so the discussion can commence: “That’s absolutely bananas!”ed hardy t-shirts

You would think that they world have OKd it at the beginning instead of allowing it to go so long without saying a thing and then bringing it back up when it was too late. i dont understand it at all.
