A Monthly Figure Structure Prix
One full time core student working in Colleen Barry's 3^rd and 4^th year Figure Structure class will win a $200 prize at the end of each five-week pose. Colleen Barry and a rotating member of the faculty pick the drawing that most exemplifies the artistic integrity, aesthetics and principles emphasized in the class. This school year’s first winner will be announced shortly after October 10^thon social media. Colleen also writes a critique of the winning drawing on our blog.
