Class #110: Portrait Drawing with Don Yang
Session | Available
This class is designed for anyone, from beginning level to advanced level, who wishes to draw a portrait in convincing realism. (Anyone can learn to draw as long as they have desire and patience and are willing to work at it!) Main emphasis of the class is to capture an accurate form of human portrait by measuring, anatomical understanding and sound drawing fundamentals. Intermediate and advanced level students will use additional media (charcoal, chalk, colored pencil) to explore various techniques and styles.
- This class meets in our 2nd floor studio.
No class on 9/22.

Born in Seoul, Korea, Don Yang came to the United States in his late teens. After 7 years of service in the U.S. Army, he pursued his childhood dream of living as an artist by studying at the American Academy of Art in Chicago where he earned a BFA with honors and later an MFA with emphasis on fine art and traditional illustration.
After graduating from the Academy, Don has taught figure drawing, oil painting, and artistic anatomy at the American Academy of Art for 22 years and served as chairperson of Fine Arts Department and Foundations Department. An avid plein air painter, painting both outdoors and in his studio at the historic Fine Arts Building in downtown Chicago, he frequently exhibits his work both locally and nationally.
