Figure Drawing Open Studio

Drawing Studio Guidelines and Privacy Statement
I agree to the guidelines stated below towards the proper behavior and class structure of the Open drawing Sessions at The Holter Museum of Art
The Holter Museum of Art strives to create safe places of learning and engaging with the arts. The Open Drawing Sessions are both a place of expression and privacy for the artist and the model. To ensure safe practices The Holter Museum of Art is requiring the following conduct within drawing classes for all artists. Disregard for these rules will require the participants removal from the session and/or course. It is for safety of the models and participants that these rules have been established. Please take note of the following.
• Absolutely NO photography of any kind for any reason
• NO touching or interacting with the model
• The model has the right to make their poses as they feel comfortable. Suggestions can be made to the facilitator, but the model will make the choice of how they pose, and for how long.
• Doors to the studio will be kept closed during sessions with windows covered. Signage alerting all to the Figure Drawing Open Studio is hung outside studio doors.
• The drawing environment is to be a quiet experience. Please be respectful of others and their concentration during the session. If you arrive late you will wait outside the room until there is a pause or changing of the pose before entering and setting up.
• No obscene language, racial slurs, joking, or comments toward the model will be tolerated.

The class structure will be:
o 15 minutes of gestures and warmups followed by a 5 minute break
o First 30 minute pose followed by a 5 minute break.
o Second 30 minute pose followed by a 5 minute break.
o Third and final 30 minute pose.
• The drawing sessions are for designed individual growth and exploration in the field of drawing and sketching. If an individual wants a critique of their work the artist needs to state it first before criticism is given.
• No model contact information will be shared with participants. Do not ask models for personal information.
