    "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 an opportunity that welcomes artists of all skill levels to practice with intention and work alongside professional artists. Space is limited, so when you register in advance, your place is guaranteed. The live models rotate weekly to keep the exercises varied and challenge the artists to improve each week.

    These are the models for the upcoming sessions

    Lucy - July 23

    Jennifer - July 30

    Jordan - August 6

    Have you ever watched Who's Line Is It Anyway and thought, “Man, I wish I could do that?” Now you can! Adult Improv is a dynamic and engaging class designed to enhance creativity, spontaneity, and communication skills through fun improvisational exercises and games. 

    All any improviser needs a set of skills to help them create great scenes. We will play games that you've seen on the show…and some you haven't. Through these improv games you'll learn about finding characters, building and exploring environments, creating relationships, and finding the story of the scene. All of this in a supportive and collaborative environment, making it perfect for both beginners and seasoned performers looking to sharpen their skills.
