Gesture Jam

Gesture Jam, a theatrical figure-drawing class led by Andrea Cote, an artist and educator who lives in Flanders, will take place at the Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill tomorrow at 6 p.m. Rather than a traditional life-drawing class, Gesture Jam has models posed dramatically in various scenarios.

For tomorrow’s session, Carlos Lama will serve as D.J., while Kate Mueth and the Neo-Political Cowgirls will perform as models. Participants have been asked to bring their own sketchpads and dry media drawing materials. Drinks will be available for purchase through the museum’s cafe. The class costs $10, free for members and students.

The museum will also offer a five-session open studio series led by Linda Capello, an accomplished teaching artist, beginning Monday and continuing through Dec. 15. Participants will practice drawing male and female models through gesture sketches and longer observation. The classes will run from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., and all skill levels will be welcomed. The cost is $150, $125 for members.
