Break out your seersucker and dust off your boas, because Poster House is taking it back to the 1920s for a motion-drawing class featuring live period dancers! Learn how to capture the fluid gestures of flappers and gentlemen as they perform the hottest dances of the Roaring Twenties—all while enjoying a Prohibition-era cocktail. Instructors Robin Mork and A.E. Kieren will teach participants the basics of live-motion figure drawing. Afterward, attendees will practice their newfound skills by drawing performers from Gatsby Entertainment NYC. Additional inspiration might even be found in the acclaimed exhibition Art Deco: Commercializing the Avant-Garde. All skill levels are welcome for this fun and informative workshop! Admission includes a complimentary cocktail from Café des Affiches; all materials provided. Members-be sure to enter your email address in the promo-code section at check-out to receive your discount!
