SUMMARY:Kings for Life (Drawing) Class
DESCRIPTION:A Drag King/Thing Life Drawing Workshop for artists to experience drag in a new way and drag artists to gain a new skill in life modelling.\n\n\nJoin us for an exciting life drawing workshop dedicated to providing a platform for Drag Kings/Things to model and offering artists a unique experience in capturing the essence of drag through art. \nOur inclusive sessions cater to all skill levels\, whether you’re a novice or a seasoned artist like the next David Hockney! Each pose is timed\, and we may suggest different drawing techniques to inspire and warm up your artistic flow. \nWhat You’ll Need: \n\nDrawing Surface: Get creative—paper\, an iPad\, or cardboard boxes!\nDrawing Materials: Anything goes—pencils\, charcoal\, pastels\, or paints. It’s a perfect opportunity to experiment and try something new!\n\nPose breakdown will be 4 x 5 minutes\, 2 x 10 minutes\, 3 x 15 minutes\, and 1 x 20 minutes (as time allows). \nCome along\, settle in and drawing starts just after 5.30pm. \nPlease bring your own materials (Although we generally have a few pads and pencils on hand in case!). All skill levels\, genders and orientations are welcome. \nImportant: Recording of the session is not permitted. \nAs with all our sessions\, Nudity is not part of this workshop. It is up to the model’s comfort level when posing how much or little clothing they will wear and being mindful of other patrons in the space\, as it will not be private. \nOur main priority is to create a safe environment for the talent. \nThat said\, sometimes sessions do veer towards the erotic/kink based on the model. We ask that you respect the model’s privacy by NOT taking any photos or recordings during the session. \nTicket sales contribute to paying our models\, covering hire fees\, and ensuring we can continue providing these fantastic sessions! \nFollow us on Instagram for more updates and to build a vibrant\, creative community together! \nAbout the facilitator: \nMatt David (they/them) is a queer artist and founder of Kings for Life (Drawing). \nKings for Life (Drawing) is a workshop allowing artists to experience drag in a few ways and be able to draw new and exciting subjects\, as well as drag kings/things to gain new skills in life modelling and gain work outside of just the nightlife scene. \nThey have facilitated multiple creative workshops\, including Self Portrait workshops for Positive East\, alongside making their own artwork with a focus on portraiture and life drawing. \nAccessibility: \nThe Centre’s accessibility statement is here. \nCovid-19 and mpox safety: \nTo keep our community safe\, we ask that all visitors do not visit the centre if they are feeling any Covid-19 and/or mpox symptoms including headache\, fever\, sore throat\, consistent cough\, chills and unusual spots\, scabs or ulcers. \nMasks and hand sanitiser are available free of charge. \nFor current information on Covid and mpox please visit the NHS website. \nDonate to the CentreWe rely on donations to ensure that the London LGBTQ+ Community Centre can keep its doors open for years to come. \nTo donate or become a Friend of the Centre\, visit our website.
