Heheh, what could be more beautiful than the human form? But anyways, try and find some 'draped' classes at least

Once the holidays have settled down (and maybe less snowy...) I'm going to head out a lot more to draw, downtown for urban - elsewhere for trees and what not. Would be cool to meet up with some utahns and talk shop.

Hey guys, I thought I'd post a note here.

The Bountiful/Davis Art Center has it's Utah Illustrators Invitational exhibit up.

Also from the website:
"On January 19 there will be an evening with renowned illustrator/artist William Maughan, 7pm at Bountiful/Davis Art Center, 745 South Main Street in Bountiful. Maughan is the Director of Graduate Fine Art Painting & Illustration at the Academy of Art University, San Francisco, CA. Mr. Maughn began his illustrious career in New York City. He has been an illustrator for 34 years. He will be discussing relevant topics around contemporary illustration."

Something of note for us Utahns,
Came across some Atelier style training here in Utah; workshops for the masses and private instruction for a select few is what I gather.

In case anyone isn't aware, we have started a Utah thread in the Finding Scholarships sections of the site.

It's a place where we can post information about scholarship and award opportunities in Utah.

**Wake101** · February 15th, 2007, 10:11 PM

Does anyone know if there are any figure drawing classes for highschool students going on around Bountiful? I'd try to go to the ones at BYU but I have to go to school at that time! Plus my transportation wont allow me to go to BYU every friday. If only the Bountiful art center taught more classes like that. Their classes seem very elementary.

I'd also love to go to the weekly sketch group, but I don't think my mom would want me gettin together with a bunch of people I met over the internet to go drawing every wednesday.

darnit, I'd love to meet some o' you guys in person though.

**Idiot Apathy** · February 15th, 2007, 11:28 PM

Hmm, I'd be surprised if the U didn't have something. I know there are one or two in downtown SLC as well. King’s Gallery and Art Academy I think does for sure... I'll look into this some more, I really need to start it up again.

P.S. Does your mom care about your future?

**Idiot Apathy** · February 15th, 2007, 11:30 PM

Spring is here, weather is beautiful;

Let's do it ladies and gentlemen; let's get out and draw.

How many of you are willing to meet:
North Salt Lake Area?
Salt Lake City Area?
South Salt Lake Area?
Provo/Orem Area?

(Any other areas if you want to set it up

I'm not driving to St. George or Cache Valley

)

Finally! I'm in Orem and would love to get together with others. I'm guessing the closer the place is to my house the more I would be able to go, but I wouldn't really mind having to even go up to Salt Lake.

My Vote of course is for Provo/Orem area though

Thanks for reviving this thread guys, lets make it happen!

**Sven** · April 13th, 2007, 12:09 PM

I work in South Salt Lake so anywhere around Salt Lake would work fine for me.

**WillSchnevel** · April 19th, 2007, 01:16 PM

Jeez, I'm all the way down in St. George! Is everyone up in the northern end of the state? No one down here to be my buddy? Maybe I could find some other reasons to head up there as well...

**K-bot** · May 4th, 2007, 10:29 PM

Wow, why did it take me so long to find this thread? I use Idiot apathy brushes in PS sometimes, and he goes to the same school as me? Are you a vis arts major?

Also, me and a few of my artist friends from school are gonna start going to kings cottage, poor urricks (sp?) and the u of u over the summer to work on our life drawing, so if your interested hit me up.

**Idiot Apathy** · May 4th, 2007, 11:03 PM

Sweeeeet, yeah I'm down - really need to get back to some life drawing. You going to SLCC this summer? No major here hehe, I just pop in for the classes I want and pop out.

**K-bot** · May 5th, 2007, 07:54 PM

Yep thats what I do too. I am doing 2 painting classes over the summer, and spending the rest of my time working on my portfolio. Did you have Rick for life drawing? Your exercises look oddly familiar...

**Idiot Apathy** · May 5th, 2007, 08:13 PM

Hahaha, what classes? Of course I had Rick, 3 times now

**K-bot** · May 5th, 2007, 11:23 PM

Digital Painting from life with Jay Ward, and Beg/Adv Oil Painting, cant remember the teacher for that one though. I just did figure one this spring, gonna do 2 in the fall. Rick has crazy awesome drawing skills.

**Idiot Apathy** · May 5th, 2007, 11:31 PM

I'll see you in Advanced Oils then, Bryan is a great teacher.

**Idiot Apathy** · May 11th, 2007, 09:41 PM

Short Notice but a few of us are going to meet up at Hogle Zoo tomorrow (Saturday the 12th!) , 2:30ish until close (5? 5:30?). Shoot me a PM if you'd like to meet up and I'll give you my cell number

**K-bot** · May 15th, 2007, 08:28 AM

damn, I just see this today.... oh well

**WillSchnevel** · May 27th, 2007, 01:14 AM

Anything going on up north around June 9th? I'll be heading up to Salt Lake for a wedding so if something's going on, I could drop by.

**Hiddnfox** · May 27th, 2007, 02:47 AM

yay! I just found out about this thread! woohoo to utah!

I'm living Downtown. Can anyone tell me more about the Kings Gallery figure drawing? I've never heard about this. I guess you could say i'm not much of a 'scenester' either.

Nice. I might head up on a few fridays. Tuesdays are out for me.

Anyone heard about the classes?

**lorddon** · June 5th, 2007, 03:44 PM

The few but mighty, right?

I still can't believe Idiot Apathy and Emily G live here.
I'm in South Salt Lake area (Midvale) but could travel north or south for sketch groups.

I may hit King's on Tuesdays, perfect hours for me too.
