There will be a strong emphasis on construction, i.e. structure of the head and placement of features, neck and shoulders, hands and arms. We will also be experimenting with materials and a toolbox of techniques, to learn to vary line work and render different textures, or select limited palettes. We will work from reference pictures and from life with models. **\* Please note we will take a 1 week break on April 9** Outline of the course - **Week 1**: Drawing the head and shoulders with graphite and charcoal (exercises from ref pics in Monochrome – 1 hour Speed drawing exercises and 2 hour long drawing **Week 2**: Drawing the head and shoulders from life with model in dry or mixed media – Placing key features **Week 3**: Drawing arms and hands : Introduction to drawing techniques and line work – 1 hour Speed drawing exercises and 2 hour long head and shoulders exercise – Using charcoal **Week 4:** Drawing arms and hands : portrait from life with model – limited palette of 2-4 colours – Tones and values **Week 5:** Full body poses: Introduction to drawing techniques and line work– 1 hour Speed drawing exercises **Week 6:** Full figure portrait in your medium of choice with model **Course Fee: €295** \* Some materials will be provided, though a small materials list will be sent to each participant. ***Your Tutor:*** Marie Le Men is a figurative artist born in France and is based in Dublin. She specializes in portraiture and figurative drawing. In her work, she aims to capture the unique energy of her sitters through vibrant line work and the use of water- based media. Her work was selected in exhibitions such as the Zurich Portrait Prize and the RUA Annual Exhibition.

**IMPORTANT! Please register at [Luma Page](https://luma.com/emp7l1m3)** ​Projector Global Community (by [Projector Institute](https://prjctr.com/en/about)) together with [RichardsDee](https://richardsdee.com/) invite you to our Practical Vibe Coding Club session. Who This Is For: This session is for product makers and builders who want a faster, more native way to go from idea to prototype in real time, and turn ideas into working experiences. No coding experience is required. This is about learning how to build, collaborate, and reiterate faster. What to expect: We’ll introduce the fundamentals of vibe coding, explore the tools that enable it, and set up a live working environment together. Participants will create a boilerplate project in Visual Studio Code using Vite + React, and learn how to move from concept to functional prototype. **Please come prepared with**: • A laptop • Visual Studio Code installed (**[https://code.visualstudio.com](https://code.visualstudio.com/)**) • A GitHub account (**[https://github.com/signup](https://github.com/signup)**) • Signed into both with your personal credentials About Speaker: **[Harshad Wadhwani](https://www.linkedin.com/in/harshad-wadhwani/overlay/about-this-profile/)** Senior UX Designer at Microsoft. Over the past year, Harshad has been deeply exploring vibe coding, moving beyond traditional design tools and into real time, code based collaboration with stakeholders. Recently, this has included experimenting with workflows that don’t rely on Figma at all, focusing instead on shared prototyping environments and live co-creation in code. Outcome: You’ll leave with a working project setup, a clear understanding of vibe coding workflows, and a new mental model for building and prototyping collaboratively with teams. Session Flow (Approximate) • 10 mins — Meet & greet • 15 mins — Harshad’s intro & framing • 60 mins — Setup & troubleshooting • 15 mins — Break • 60 mins — Explore, build, and experiment • 30 mins — Closing discussion & reflection

Hello Everyone! Let's read something before coming to the event.

We meet and chat about it, as a starting point of conversation. Please feel free to bring books :)

**Step into the circle and embrace the mystery!** On **Thursday, 26th March**, we are gathering at the Signal Arts Centre for our second **Circle Session** of the month. We’re ditching the stage and sitting together on floor level to create an intimate, organic space where everyone is part of the music and the magic. ### 🎸 The Vibe: Join the Jam We’re all about that "jam feel" at these sessions! * **Collaborate:** If you’re playing a song, we ask that you share the **chords and the key** with the group so others can jump in and play along. * **Rhythm for All:** Don’t have an instrument? We’ve got **shakers** ready for anyone who wants to add to the beat. ### ✨ The Theme: The Great Unknown 🚀 Whether it’s a song about a new adventure, a story about a leap of faith, or a poem about things we can’t quite explain—we want to hear your take on the unknown. > **Pro Tip:** The theme is just for inspiration! If you have a piece that doesn't fit the vibe, bring it anyway. It’s not important to stick to it! ### 🎤 Poets, Comics & Storytellers The circle isn't just for the music! We love a mix of all calibres. Whether you have a five-minute bit, a spoken word piece, or a tall tale to tell, this supportive, low-pressure environment is the perfect place to share it. *** ### 📍 The Essentials: * ⏰ **Time:** Doors at 8:00 PM \| Finish at 11:30 PM * 📍 **Where:** Signal Arts Centre, Albert Walk, Bray * 💰 **Entry:** €5 (+ €10 for BYOB) * ☕ **Perks:** Free tea and coffee provided No stage, no barriers—just good people and great vibes.

Irish National Opera’s new production features a world-class cast, with Irish soprano **Jennifer Davis** in the title role. A rising star on the international stage, her performance in INO’s *Faust* (2023) was praised as “exquisite and vibrantly emotional” (Sunday Independent). New York tenor **Ryan Capozzo** is the Prince, with American mezzo-soprano **Michelle DeYoung** as the witch Ježibaba and Croatian bass **Ante Jerkunica** as Rusalka’s father, Vodník. Soprano **Giselle Allen** is the Foreign Princess with baritone **Benjamin Russell** as the Gamekeeper. Completing the ensemble are sopranos **Rachel Croash** and **Sarah Richmond** and mezzo-soprano **Alexandra Urquiola** as the Wood Nymphs. Direction and design are by the visionary **Netia Jones**, who co-created and directed INO’s Olivier award nominated *Least Like The Other, Searching for Rosemary Kennedy.* INO’s Artistic Director **Fergus Sheil** conducts the INO orchestra and chorus. *Rusalka* is sung in Czech with English surtitles.

Welcome to the Art School - 20's & 30's artists Meetup group! This is a community for young artists who are passionate about exploring different mediums and techniques in the world of art. Whether you're a painter, sculptor, photographer, or mixed media artist, this group is the perfect place to connect with like-minded individuals, have a space to work on your craft, and showcase your work. Let's inspire and support each other on our artistic journeys! Whether you're a novice or a seasoned artist, all skill levels are welcome. Join us and unleash your creativity! This month we will be discussing **Frank Santoro**, an American cartoonist, painter, and comics critic known for his expressive lines, experimental page layouts, and vibrant use of color. His graphic novels—including *Storeyville*, *Pompeii*, and *Pittsburgh*—blend personal storytelling with innovative visual structure, often exploring memory, place, and relationships. In addition to his comics, Santoro has been an influential voice in comics education and criticism, co-founding the magazine *ComicsComics* and creating the **Santoro Correspondence Course for Comic Book Makers**, which has helped train and inspire a new generation of cartoonists. Afterwards, we will have time to work on our individual art projects, hang out, and if anyone is interested in feedback on their work, there will be time for that as well.
