Join The Bakery and Professor Mia Merlin for "Face the Music," a portrait drawing class where attendees take turns posing and sketching each other to the length of one song. All skill levels are welcome to this BYO supplies event! Email hello@thebakeryatlanta.com with any questions. About Mia Merlin: After teaching drawing, painting, and art appreciation at different universities for a couple of decades, I’ve left academia. I see society as being in great need of the simple, physical, nourishing practice that drawing and painting offer, and I want to be able to offer these things directly. As an educator, I want to support people in their creativity in three ways: connecting to other artists’ work, appreciating the qualities of different mediums, and above all else, enjoying the process. In my work, I have a special interest in beauty in everyday life (faces, bodies, trees, flowers, fruit, etc.) I believe that drawing and painting can help us feel freer and more alive, and foster a sense of possibility. I am available for private or small group lessons.
