  "Each drawing one makes is a step forward."

  -- Vincent Van Gogh

  Drawing is one of the most fundamental forms of artmaking, with some of the earliest examples being the cave paintings in Lascaux, France from 30,000BCE. Drawing, since then, has evolved to become a powerful tool for artists to manifest their ideas into reality. WADA is committed to providing artists from all over Tampa Bay the resources necessary to sharpen this tool, hone their craft, and cultivate the artist community.

  The weekly Figure Drawing Lab is a drop-in opportunity that welcomes artists of all skill levels to practice with intention and work alongside professional artists. The live models rotate weekly to keep the exercises varied and challenge the artists to improve each week.

  Classy Glass in Mosaics

  An Eight Week Program about the Art of Classical Mosaics

  
  

  Saturdays, from 9:30am to 12pm

  October 15 to December 10, 2022

  Ages 18+ | Supplies Included

  $179 for WADA Members | $199 for Non-Members

  Mosaic making is perhaps the oldest form of art having been practiced for 5000 years. Learn the basis of getting started making mosaics – the tiles (tesserae), the adhesives and the laying of the tiles. It has changed radically through the millennia and the evolution continues. 

  Using a combination of lecture/slideshow, drawing, examples, and hands-on practice using stained glass, students will not only create their own mosaic pieces, but more importantly, gain a strong understanding of mosaics as an art form and the fascinating history behind it.

  

  
  

  

  About the Artist
  Teresa Sullivan began making mosaics more than 20 years ago after a pivotal trip to Tunisia in 1997.  There she walked among the ruins of the Roman Empire and glimpsed the possibilities of this most ancient art form. So began her journey- learning this 5,000 year-old skill.  She studies with teachers throughout Italy, Mexico and the United States.

  About the Artist
  Khasilan’s story is best expressed and interpreted through the art of movement itself. Originally an autodidact, Si specializes in the art of movement. His native language is a mix of Hip Hop, Popping, Breakdancing and Contemporary. Though quite shy as a kid, he performed at the Mahaffey Theatre in front of his elementary school classmates in the Chocolate nutcracker. At the age of 14 he didn’t have access to dance classes but was inspired by the standards of the best dancers around the world that he watched online.

  He started to hone his gift himself, fueled by unparalleled self-driven ambition. As he started to break out of his shell showing the world who he was, his dance world exploded. As a young adult, he began producing and directing local performances winning critiques choice, best overall, and fan favorite. In High school, he taught his school’s dance team and taught at a local dance studio. He started freelance choreography/performance production at the age of 19. Always passionate for more knowledge he traveled to train under leaders in his dance realm such as Kevin Paradox, Beast, Joe Tulio, groove against the machine and more.

  Khasilan went from winning regional competitions like Tampa Bay’s “Philfest dance revolution”, to teaching dance in San Francisco, to Placing top 8 in Chicago and Oakland battles. He’s currently the teaching Artist in residence at ACT (Art Conservatory For Teens), BADA (Broadway Arts and Dance Academy) and also teaches and performs through his LLC. He aims to tell stories, learn of the world, and support every student’s blossoming through dance.
