**Scott Yeskel** is an acclaimed oil painter who paints both representational and abstract cityscapes mostly of L.A. In the tradition of Diebenkorn, Richter and De Kooning. This juxtaposion leaves the work diverse on many levels. Yeskel's abstracts, layered in thick strokes of oil, speak of incorporial places that harken back a mood or feeling from particular environments he has been. The representaional work, on the other hand, leaves an impression of a snap shot gone by.
The work is balanced, both focused yet off kilter, sharp yet skewed. His bold color choices mix with various muted hues to pull together truly contemporary views of urban sprawl, and modern living.

Sundays, 10am - 1pm

Kline academy is proud to host a portrait sculpture class taught by LCAD and FAA alum, Gabriel Castro.

Students will learn to observe and record the human head in clay using sight sizing and comparative measuring techniques to build a head from profile to fully rendered face, neck and base.

Techniques like the following will be applied:
\- Learning how to draw in space
\- take notes on the sculpture itself
\- and get comfortable with the medium on a basic level in order to form a strong foundation from which to build upon\.

This class will teach students how to quickly and efficiently construct a portrait bust in clay with the possibility of casting it in Plaster, Resin or even bronze for those willing.

Supply List coming soon!
**What You'll Learn:**

* How to apply drawing techniques usually used for drawing on two dimensional surfaces to three dimensional constructs.
* A step by step approach to building a clay head, eliminating a constant “build and tear down” approach that may slow or bog down the process.
* Basic anatomy of the skull and human head shape to help know what to look for and why.
* “Proper” understanding of clay tools, what each shape and material is best used for and how to take advantage of your toolkit.
* Learning to edit information: finding creative and stylistic choices to bring a finished bust to the next level.
* A breakdown of casting techniques and materials needed.
* How to make plaster and Silicone molds
