Service Description
[In Person] Drawing from Photographs: Coping Vs. Creating by Katy Kleinhans on Wednesday evenings, 3/31/27- 5/5/27 from 6:00-8:00 pm CST on Rice University campus In this six-week art class, we will discuss and practice drawing from photo references. Photography, one of the most technical of the art forms, claims to create a copy of reality. In Drawing from Photographs, we will work with vellum, a special see-through paper, to trace famous or personal photographs and famous artworks. In the tracing process, we will discuss what is essential to visually depict complicated compositions. We will add color to the other side of our vellum art as well. Using oil pastel and colored pencil, the drawing can deviate from reality. You can use your creativity to add details and elements that were not in the original image and customize your photos. Lastly, we will look at interesting framing options for two-sided work. This course will openly discuss plagiarism and if a copy of an original is a second original, or simply a copyright protected copy. Artists using "copies", such as Warhol, Rauschenberg, and collagists will be discussed.
Upcoming Sessions
Cancellation Policy
Our classes operate on a first-come, first-serve basis, with limited seating for up to 13 participants to ensure a quality learning experience. By registering, you reserve a valuable seat that may prevent others from joining. We understand that plans can change. However, cancellations made within one week of the class start date are not eligible for refunds. If you are unable to attend, we are happy to offer a course voucher, allowing you to apply your registration toward a future class of your choice. Parent/Guardian Attendance Policy Our program is designed to empower adults with IDDs to participate in classes at UT Austin alongside their peers, including both other adult students and college students. We encourage our participants to build self-confidence, practice age-appropriate social skills, and experience the independence of a college environment, just as any neurotypical college student would. To support this mission, parents and guardians are not permitted to attend classes with their student. However, if there are special circumstances—such as a need for assistance with personal care or concerns about behavior—exceptions to this policy may be considered. These exceptions require review and approval by our Executive Director, Kaelin Rubenzer, on a case-by-case basis. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
