DocuSign Envelope ID: 4657CA02- 746E- 4CBC- BE73- 725840490057 <br />Project /Program I am endeavoring to host an ongoing figure drawing and basic <br />Summary painting class for students of all skill levels in my soon to be newly <br />renovated studio space in Hillsborough. For this I am requesting <br />funds to purchase seven new easels in anticipation of the students' <br />needs. I am in the midst of renovating a 100 - year -old residence in the <br />historic district that will house my new studio: ample space for a <br />class of 6 — 10 students. OCNC funds would be used to purchase the <br />seven new easels to add to the three that I already have. Six of the <br />new easels will be Testrite # 500 Collapsible Aluminum Easels and the <br />seventh will be a Master Multi- Function Studio Artist Easel to <br />accommodate larger works. <br />I am covering all other renovation and studio costs apart from the <br />new easels. The renovation costs are near impossible to tabulate <br />right now as we haven't completed them yet (they'll run somewhere <br />between $20,000 and $80,000), but I will also be purchasing a number <br />of tables, drapes, paints, and various other sundry items that will run <br />about $350 in total. <br />Community Impact Artists of all walks lack opportunities for comprehensive life <br />instruction directly from the model. When I studied in Florence, Italy <br />we worked from the live model five days a week, eight hours a day. I <br />intend for the class to meet once a week, often with a live model so I <br />can go into great depth with anatomy instruction, light, volume, <br />medium choices and lost old master techniques. This at least will <br />offer a primer for artists on what to look for when working from the <br />live model (or life drawing /painting in general). I believe that <br />beginning a studio that focuses on intensive study in a relaxed <br />atmosphere can only positively impact the artistic population of <br />Hillsborough and the surrounding areas. <br />Artist Experience I have many years of experience instructing all levels, from children <br />up through college classes; but I mainly prefer an intimate, small <br />group that I can really focus on. I find teaching very rewarding, <br />especially with a dedicated group of serious students. Whether it's <br />been one -day workshops or ongoing sessions I've always found my <br />students to be very pleased with the progress they've made. <br />Budgeted Expense <br />4fa917d3- 3828 - 4849- 85c8- df75b555f46d.xlsx <br />Budgeted Income <br />a8152741- 55ae -49d9- 8940- fd209c2eca8c.xlsx <br />Resumes of artists /administrators <br />Max Miller CV 2018.doc <br />Publicity Samples <br />Work Samples <br />calypsostudy.jpg <br />dreads.jpg <br />
