WINTER CLASSES:
I am glad to announce a Figure Drawing class beginning the first week of Feburary 2012. We will discuss drawing and design in the context of art history. This structured investigation of figurative work will provide a rich mixture for our conversations.
We will meet at the Oregon Society of Artists (OSA) building, a great facility with a spacious studio and a private parking lot. The OSA building is located (near SW 23rd Street and Burnside) at 2185 SW Park Place.

TESTIMONIALS:
"Your classes have taught me to ask what is essential?
What do I care about? What have I overlooked? You taught
me to continue searching for the balance between the
poetic and the structural. You created a safe environment
in which I am free to paint, draw and face the demons
of the day." Julie Davis, Intensive student
"In all the years I've spent as a student, I have
never had a more positively influential teacher."
Susan Nelson, PSU Student
"I am endlessly impressed with your capacity to
hold all of us, as we struggle and evolve and slip ahead
and back again. I don't see how you do it, but am grateful
for your strength and steadiness. I thought again about
the critique and how carefully and consistently you
handled reticence. You stayed your course, didn't recoil,
didn't try to fix people, met each person where they
stood—that in itself is a great lesson to those
of us present, since in the end all there is to do is
witness the storms, have compassion, stay the course
and keep painting." Sally Retecki, Intensive
student
"Joseph Mann is one of those extraordinary teachers
who combines a rich and deep knowledge of art history
with a keen eye for teaching to the individual. He is
one of the few who could be called a ‘master teacher’."
