TRANSCRIBING THE MASTERS is a 6 week online class with Fran O’Neill!
The act of drawing from masterworks is a powerful tool in learning. In this class Fran will present you with a different work of personal significance each week and guide you through the process of transcribing the piece. You will learn a deeper understanding of underlying connections in the work such as geometry, rhythms, and structure will all be explored using the direct observation drawing.
