Learn from the best. Dreaming about learning from the greats ? Di Vinci, Matisse, Picasso ? might be out of reach for many of us today without the help of a time machine, but there?s hope yet when it comes to getting taught by the art world?s best. In fact, for those in Sydney on August 18th, it?ll become a reality. Hosted by the National Association for the Visual Arts (NAVA), you now have the chance to learn life drawing from some of the best in the business, with a one-off class led by Archibald Prize finalists. Supporting NAVA, the 15-person only event will see past Archibald finalists Jasper Knight, Julian Meagher, Dean Brown and Oliver Watts dish out tips via way of a life drawing class, discuss their work and also tour their Darlinghurst studio. ?One of the things I like most about life drawing is the communal nature of it. Oliver, Jasper and I spent many of our teenage years together at life drawing classes. I’m looking forward to getting the band back together! Art can be a lonely pursuit so it is magical when you can bounce ideas and create work alongside your peers. NAVA plays a key role in our community and I think it is fitting to be able to support it in this way,? says Julian Meagher, who was selected as a 2015 Archibald finalist for his Daniel Johns portrait.
