Students will learn the fundamentals of drawing through observation, instinct, and traditional methods in a winning combination. Focus will be on the main points of traditional drawing, such as structure, volume, shading, framing and composition as well as the human figure. Through a step by step program, you will learn how to bring what you see onto paper and how to finish with a completed chiaroscuro drawing. These skills are an essential foundation for further personal artistic exploration. MAIN POINTS OF THE CLASSES: • how to draw what we see • how to see lines and volume • proportions and shapes • how to do shading / chiaroscuro • how to use materials • how to sketch and define figures • work on different pose's lenght • how to apply all that you learn **DETAILED PROGRAM OF THE CLASS BELOW :** To begin, the students will work from Still Life and objects in order to learn how to bring what they see to the paper. The step by step program will go through the fundamentals of perspective, volume, proportions- all of the skills required to draw anything, whether it be still life, people, nature, or animals. The students will then begin working from the model. Students will learn how to identify the main driving forces and masses of the body. The 'bean' approach will help the students see the basic 3-dimensional structure of the body. With professional models posing under controlled lighting for shadows and contrast.

Herzlich Willkommen zum WordPress Meetup Berlin! Auch im Jahr 2026 treffen wir uns weiterhin am letzten Mittwoch des Monats. Wir versuchen, abwechselnd Themen für Anwender\*innen und Developers behandeln. **Programm** 19:00 \| Einlass 19:15 \| Thema: Erstellen eigener Gutenberg\-Blocks Mit einem eigenen Gutenberg-Block macht man sich unabhängig von (möglicherweise kostenpflichtigen) Plugins, erweitert beliebig den Funktionsumfang des Editors und wird bei einer eigenen Umsetzung dank der Dokumentation auf developer.wordpress.org bestmöglich "an die Hand genommen". Matthias stellt euch in seinem Vortrag vor, was ihr dazu braucht und wie ihr die ersten Schritte gehen könnt. 20:15 \| "Flohmarkt" Jede\*r kann kurz ein Gesuch oder Angebot in wenigen Sätzen pitchen. Bitte achtet darauf, dass es nicht zu kommerziell wird. 20:30 \| Happiness Bar\, freies Networking & Gespräche\. Bei Fragen oder Problemen mit WordPress könnt ihr uns gerne ansprechen und wir helfen euch mit eurem Problem. Das nennen wir "Happiness Bar". **Teilnahme** Die Teilnahme ist kostenlos. Essen und Getränke können wir leider nicht bereitstellen. Es gibt einen Snack/Getränke-Automaten und einen Kaffee-Automaten in der Bibliothek. Ihr könnt euch auch gerne etwas mitbringen und im Meeting-Raum essen. In der Umgebung gibt es einige Bäckereien, Spätis und Imbisse. Wichtig ist nur, dass wir den Raum wieder sauber hinterlassen. Falls ihr euch angemeldet habt und es doch nicht schaffen solltet, meldet euch bitte ab, damit wir einen Überblick über die Teilnehmerzahl behalten. **Barrierefreiheit** Die Location ist barrierefrei für Rollstühle. Falls ihr Unterstützung bei der Teilnahme oder Anforderungen an die Barrierefreiheit habt, schreibt uns gerne eine Nachricht. **Code of Conduct** Als WordPress Meetup verpflichten wir uns den Code of Conduct (sprich: unsere "Verhaltensregeln") einzuhalten:[ https://wpmeetup-berlin.de/regeln/](https://wpmeetup-berlin.de/regeln/) **Weitere Details und Infos** WPMeetup-Berlin Website: [https://wpmeetup-berlin.de/](https://wpmeetup-berlin.de/) Facebook-Gruppe "WordPress Berlin Brandenburg": [https://www.facebook.com/groups/331013360390412/](https://www.facebook.com/groups/331013360390412/) Twitter Account @wp_berlin: [https://twitter.com/wp_berlin](https://twitter.com/wp_berlin) #WPBerlin **Location & Raumsponsor** Ein großer Dank geht an die Bezirksbibliothek Pablo Neruda, dass sie uns den Raum zur Verfügung stellen.

Important: Register on [AICamp website](https://www.aicamp.ai/event/eventdetails/W2026061814) is required for admission. **Description:** Welcome to the AI meetup in Washington DC. Join us for deep dive tech talks on AI, GenAI, LLMs and Agents, hands-on experiences on code labs, workshops, and networking with speakers and fellow developers. **Agenda:** \* 5:30pm\~6:00pm: Checkin, Food/drink and networking \* 6:00pm\~8:00pm: Tech talks and Q&A \* 8:00pm: Happy Hour at Courthouse Social (cross the street) **Tech Talk: Secure Developer Environments in the Age of AI Agents** **Speaker:** Patrick Brown (Coder) **Abstract:** Federal engineering teams are under pressure to ship faster while meeting some of the most demanding security and compliance requirements in the world. In this talk, Patrick Brown of Coder explores how cloud development environments (CDEs) give agencies a foundation to accelerate software delivery without sacrificing control — and why that foundation matters even more as AI-powered coding agents enter the workflow. He'll cover how CDEs keep source code off endpoints, enforce zero-trust access patterns, and provide the consistent, ephemeral infrastructure that both human developers and AI agents need to operate safely at scale. **Speakers:** Stay tuned as we are updating speakers and schedules. If you have a keen interest in speaking to our community, we invite you to submit topics for consideration: [Submit Topics](https://forms.gle/JkMt91CZRtoJBSFUA) **Sponsors:** We are actively seeking sponsors to support AI developers community. Whether it is by offering venue spaces, providing food, or cash sponsorship. Sponsors will not only speak at the meetups, receive prominent recognition, but also gain exposure to our extensive membership base of 5,000+ AI developers in D.C and 500K+ worldwide.

Across the country, people from diverse backgrounds are working together to strengthen their neighborhoods, empower youth, support families, and create environments where everyone can contribute. In this session, we will explore Section II of *A Common Endeavor: Realizing the Promise of America*, which highlights examples of grassroots efforts that are fostering unity, service, and community transformation. Together, we will discuss: • What characteristics make communities resilient and inclusive? • How can ordinary people become agents of positive change? • What can we learn from successful community-building efforts? • How do service, friendship, and collaboration contribute to social progress? Whether you are involved in community service, civic engagement, education, faith-based activities, or simply care about the well-being of your community, your insights are welcome. **Suggested Reading:** [Section II](https://www.acommonendeavor.org/) https://www.acommonendeavor.org/

We are always welcoming. ​Our format is great for people who have started on but not finished one or several side projects. ​We will start off with basic introductions and what we are working on, along with what our goals are for the session. We’ll break the rest of the meeting into two working sessions. In between, we’ll do a quick check-in to see how folks are going. We also have some polls available which we use to shape our events: ​[https://submatrix.net/article/Meetups/e9ym4fr8Ca](https://submatrix.net/article/Meetups/e9ym4fr8Ca) If the meetup is full, we encourage you to come anyway.

Thanks to a generous offer of land and fencing from the property owner, HOH is expanding both of its gardens that serve families in the community direcly. (In the photo, the original larger garden is back by the brown shed.) We’re excited to welcome 30+ new gardeners to grow with the 20 families and youth garden club that we’ve been with since 2021 and 2022. ### Help us finish the expansion: * **Build and fill the last few galvanized steel beds and help new gardeners plant for the first time:** Saturday, June 20, 9:30-11:30 a.m. Sign up [here.](https://us.list-manage.com/lCaC2qEtBIM?e=4a5e912d4e&c2id=abb0a13f3b6961c56bcda9d362340dd9) * **Build a shed.** 2-3 volunteers needed.
