I've been leading the gesture class at Pixar for the past year or so, and I recently completed teaching my first Introductory Gesture Class there. The response from the students was very positive, and seeing them grow in just eight short weeks was extremely rewarding. I've been hearing rumblings that there is interest outside the gates of Pixar for a class like this, so I've decided to give it a shot!
Here are the details:
The course will consist of 8 classes over the course of 8 weeks. The curriculum will be as follows:
Week 1: Line - Distilling the pose to its essence
Week 2: Shape - Abstracting the pose
Week 3: Silhouette - A clear read
Week 4; Space - Creating depth and dynamics
Week 5: Exaggeration - Pushing and pulling a drawing
Week 6: Extrapolation - Seeing beyond the surface
Week 7: Story - Giving your drawings context
Week 8: Final Review
The class will meet on Thursdays from 7pm-9pm at 160 Folsom Street starting June 16th and ending August 4th, 2011.
Tuition will be $800 for the entire course (all materials will be provided).
Class size will be limited to 12 students.
If you're interested and/or would like more information, you can email me at alex@woohoopictures.com.
Thanks!

Between your drawing and dance styles, I'd say your super power is understanding grace and gesture. Good luck with the class dude!
Very cool that you are doing this outside of Pixar! Will you still continue instruct classes at pixar as well?
Oh man, I wish I lived up in the bay area!
Damn! big win for the bay area artists!
Awf. I wish I lived up in the bay area too! AWESOME! Best of luck with the class. Maybe if you ever do a two day weekend workshop I can make it up there. :D
I would absolutely love to but I'm in NY :(
Any chance of an online class?
Thanks everyone.
I am working on putting an online class together at the moment with Schoolism.com. Teaching in person is always ideal, but online classes seem to be a good alternative. Stay tuned for updates on that.
I am interested but I am traveling a lot this summer. Will you be teaching this again?
Thanks!

Daniel - I will continue to lead the Tuesday Gesture class, but the intro class will be on hold until maybe the fall.
Julia - a second class will depend on how this first one goes. Check back for updates. I will let everyone know when and if I will do a second class. Thanks for your interest!
I would LOVE to take this, but $800 is a lot all at once. Would some sort of payment plan be an option?
Doruk - Thanks for your interest in the class! Unfortunately, the class is now full. I am thinking about offering a second class in the near future though. Email me, and we can discuss different options.
AHH!! I discovered this too late!!! Is there a way to get on some kind of waiting list for if/when you offer your class again? I'd absolutely love to take it!
