GENERAL INFORMATION

CAN I ATTEND IF I HAVE NEVER BEEN A STUDENT AT DARA?
No, not at this time.

HOW DO I SIGN UP TO JOIN THE GROUP?
Check the box for the figure sketch session when you apply to a part-time course during the Fall, Winter or Spring Trimester.
If you are not currently enrolled in a part-time class, but you have been a student at DARA in a past trimester or workshop, please contact Mischa Tranquilli if you are interested in attending.

IS IT REQUIRED TO JOIN EVERY SESSION?
No.

WHAT MATERIALS DO I NEED TO BRING?
You can draw or sketch in any preferred medium. Easels & drawing boards are provided by the studio. You are responsible for bringing all other materials.

DO I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE SESSIONS I DO NOT ATTEND?
No. The € 70 session fee is divided among the participants each week.

WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY PER SESSION?
Two instructors attend every week, so at the very maximum, a student would pay  € 23,33 per session. The typical number of weekly participants is 7 to 8 people (€ 8,75 to € 10 per person.)

WHAT IF I ARRIVE LATE OR HAVE TO LEAVE EARLY?
You are still welcome to attend. Please note that you still pay the same share of the session fee as every other participant.
