The A&D Draw-A-Thon and Fundraiser is a fun artistic way for us to raise money and practice our craft. Grab your sketchbook, paints, brushes, pens; whatever your medium and join us. This event is unique among draw-a-thons because it introduces the tradition of live model drawing to high school art students. The nine-hour drawing and painting event will provide an opportunity for art students and professional artists to work side by side from a group of live models. Poses will vary from short sessions of five minutes, twenty minutes and one hour poses. Extended poses of three and six hours will also be available.There will be a dedicated room for costume (heroic/cosplay) figure drawing and a separate room for nude/traditional figure drawing. Students under 18 years of age will be required to submit a consent form signed by a parent prior to the event or they must be accompanied by a parent to the event to be granted access to the nude modeling section. Students under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult. The costume modeling section will be available to all ages.
