On Tuesday, Sept. 30, the Wichita Falls Museum of Art hosted  the  “Arts Essentials Studio, Form & Space: Proportions of the Face” event. This even went over the element(s) of art of form and space.

The “Arts Essential Studio” is a recurring event that happens every Tuesday. The event goes over one element of art for an hour and a half.

However, unlike a previous event, there was a specific style to work on during this event. The main focus was to learn how to draw portraits with proper proportions by using form and space.

The museum provided stands at each table with sketch paper to work with on, pencils, a thick charcoal stick and a kneaded eraser for people to use.

In addition to the art supplies, there were small pictures of celebrities to use as references such as Tom Holland and Kevin Hart.

Education curator Jennifer McLarty hosted the event and taught everyone how to proportion the face properly when drawing a portrait.

McLarty informed everyone at the event how the face is proportioned properly and how it’s easier to draw the face when thinking about it in sections.

Elliot, a participant at the event said they think they have accomplished something by being pushed out of their comfort zone to try new things they would not normally do at home. They also do not have all of the necessary art supplies at home.

“I did think it was pushing me out of my comfort zone and making me try new things. Things I wouldn’t normally do at home. Also, I don’t have all of the art supplies at home.” Elliot said.
