This class is in need of a student assistant (class monitor).

A student assistant helps the instructor and other students with zoom issues during class. There are usually very few issues and typically involves helping people with tasks such as unmuting themselves. Beyond that, you are still able to fully participate in the class as a student.
In exchange for this helpful service, Gage offers a 55% reduction in the tuition of the class that you assist for.

If you would like to help out and have some experience with zoom, please email chad@gageacademy.org The position is not guaranteed.

Advance your understanding of the human head’s complex construction while heightening your ability to draw a portrait from observation. Study the structural concepts of the head and its features used to create solid illusions of the model’s portrait. Emphasis on proportion and gesture along with studies of anatomy and perspective will be stressed throughout. Leave this class with an enhanced ability to construct a portrait based on a broadened understanding of its anatomical structure.
