Ever wanted to learn how to draw a proper butt, as seen in John Singer Sargent’s “Nude Egyptian Girl,” but too embarrassed to ask how? Laura Mae Noble, an instructor at the School of the Art Institute, breaks down the basics of observational figure drawing in this playful, drop-in workshop. We’ll set up a mini-museum, with a range of items to sketch and perfect, all while Laura floats the room offering instruction for all levels.
