Washington Weekend Retreat Recap
 
Recently, the Da Vinci Initiative partnered with the Washington Art Education Association to offer a free weekend retreat for art teachers. The event was a great success, featuring renowned artist and author, Juliette Aristides. Attendees had an evening painting demonstration at the Gage Academy of Art in Seattle, WA followed by a full-day figure drawing workshop lead by Aristides.

One attendee wrote of the event, "Thank you for writing and presenting the incredible Figure Drawing Workshop with Juliette, John, the WAEA, and the Gage! I am a changed person from the experience! Bravo, Kudos, and Thank You! Your efforts provided positive transformation, validation, reflection, motivation, and inspiration to all!"

If you are interested in attending a Da Vinci Initiative workshop or retreat, check out the current events schedule. All Da Vinci Initiative workshops are held at ARC Approved ™ Schools or are taught by artists affiliated with ARC Approved Schools ™.  If you are unable to attend an event, consider our new online course. The first class is entitled, "Introduction to Advanced Observational Drawing," and includes 30 videos, approximately 5 hours of footage, as well as applicable lesson plans. Continuing education credits are available for some states.
