Drawing Classes in the Bay Area
December 13, 2011 11:42 AM Subscribe
Drawing classes in San Francisco: Is there anything like the Art Students League in New York (cheaper, start and stop when you'd like) or 3rd Ward — or is it just CCA, SFAI, and the Berkeley Art Extension? I'd like to take a drawing class that is less expensive and less intensive than some of the semester-long offerings at these schools ($400 for 12 wks is the general setup). Any Bay Area mefites have the scoop?
Response by poster: Yes, I am definitely looking for an instructor.

Pacific Art League, which is in Palo Alto, is cheaper and low key, but still 10 or 12 week series.

Best answer: Sharon Art Studio in Golden Gate? I can't vouch for the classes, though I know someone who takes a few courses there and also teaches quilting.
There's also courses at CCSF.

If you are willing to cross over to the East Bay then Laney College has some great classes (Lake Merritt BART and a short walk).

I don't know anything about it, but I used to walk past this place when I lived in Noe Valley. They have 5 stars x 11 reviews on Yelp.

Response by poster: Sharon Art Studio looks perfect. I'm already excited to sign up for some of the one-day workshops.

I took entry-level figure drawing classes at both Sharon Art Studio and CCSF and enjoyed them a great deal. Sharon's class was definitely more self-directed, whereas the CCSF classes had more instruction. I took the CCSF class first and I'm glad I did.

Maybe these are no good because you want an instructor?
