Jim Donnelly Art Studio teaches provides traditional drawing and painting techniques for people with varying levels of ability. Jim Donnelly also runs part-time courses and evening classes in a purpose built art studio in Carlow.
One course the Studio offers is an introduction to traditional drawing.
In this class students will be learn how to do Bargue drawings. These are drawing from the cast, a 19th century teaching method.
Charles Bargue developed the method. Due to it's usefulness as a teaching technique, French Academy widely used the method in the 19th and early-20th centuries. Students copy instructional plates developed by the artist. The goal for the student is to improve his or her observational skills. Therefore, students learn to deconstruct complex visual information into large and small forms and shadows and light.
