This class will present an intuitive approach to drawing the nude human figure. We will work from the model, incorporating gesture, observation and imagination to create drawings that enhance and develop your own creative style. Beginners as well as those with experience are welcome. In addition to doing exercises in class, we will look at great drawings of the past to discern the elements that make up their beauty. I will be available to offer guidance and direction as needed, and even homework if you desire.

Oak ecosystems of the Pacific Northwest are among the most biodiverse of their kind. These groves support hundreds of plant and animal species that depend on them for denning habitat and sustenance. But due to threats including conifer crowding oaks, climate and extreme fire, and conversion to other land use, oak ecosystems are in trouble. Did you know that some estimates suggest we’ve lost 50% or more of our historic oak ecosystems?

Two mesas rising 800 feet above the Rogue Valley floor—Upper and Lower Table Rock—hold thousands of acres of this vital and threatened habitat. Due to their steep and rugged slopes, the Table Rocks preserve unique examples of our region’s diverse oak ecosystems. Since time immemorial, Indigenous peoples of this valley stewarded these special places with controlled fire as a tool to care for oak ecosystems.

To continue this legacy of stewardship, partners of the Klamath Siskiyou Oak Network conduct oak restoration and research at the Table Rocks. After decades of collaborative work, over 1,000 acres of oak groves and savanna have been restored!

The Klamath Siskiyou Oak Network invites you to join local oak experts at the Table Rocks for a free educational hike. Come learn about the ecocultural history of this landscape, explore past and current restoration efforts, and discover the benefits of prescribed fire in oak ecosystems. You’ll also hear about other oak restoration projects happening throughout the Rogue River Valley and the importance of conserving this precious ecosystem.
