作者簡介
April Connors is a figure drawing instructor and freelance illustrator based in Los Angeles, California. She has been teaching figure drawing for the last six years, both privately and through established institutions to a wide variety of artists at all levels and from different disciplines. From the professional to the novice student. She has taught private classes in Mexico and impromptu drawing lectures/demos in Hong Kong, countries in which her illustrations have been exhibited as part of solo and group shows. Her selfpublished booklet, "Toasty Biscuits" (a small compilation of drawings), was also released during her time in Hong Kong.
April's Los Angeles based drawing classes include: Gesture Drawing for Animation and Figure Drawing 1 at Gnomon School of VFX in Hollywood; Model Drawing (sophomore, junior, and senior levels) for the Fashion department at Otis College of Art and Design; Illustrative Storytelling From Life at 3Kicks Studio in Pasadena; private drawing and painting classes at her studio. From 2012-2015 she also administered an uninstructed figure drawing workshop at her studio, part of the Keystone Fine Art Studios complex. The uninstructed figure drawing sessions followed in the tradition of workshops such as "The Drawing Club," which placed an emphasis on characterization and story-telling.
April's academic work focuses on developing a drawing philosophy and method that places a focal point on storytelling and autodidactism, while being flexible enough to grow and change and be further developed by other artists; in this way she wishes to inspire an open and inquisitive dialogue between not only the artist and their audience, but between artists of different media and disciplines as well, something she fears is being lost in younger generations.
作者簡介(中文翻譯)
艾普莉·康諾斯（April Connors）是一位位於加州洛杉磯的人體素描講師和自由插畫家。她在過去六年中教授人體素描，無論是私下授課還是通過已建立的機構，對各種不同層級和不同領域的藝術家進行教學，從專業人士到初學者。她曾在墨西哥教授私人課程，並在香港進行即興的素描講座和示範，這些地方的展覽中展示了她的插畫，作為個展和聯展的一部分。她自出版的小冊子《Toasty Biscuits》（一小部分素描的合集）也在她在香港期間發行。
艾普莉在洛杉磯的素描課程包括：在好萊塢的Gnomon School of VFX教授動畫手勢素描和人體素描1；在奧提斯藝術與設計學院的時尚系教授模特素描（大二、大三和大四級別）；在帕薩迪納的3Kicks Studio教授生活插畫敘事；以及在她的工作室提供私人素描和繪畫課程。從2012年到2015年，她還在她的工作室管理一個無指導的人體素描工作坊，這是基於Keystone Fine Art Studios綜合體的一部分。這些無指導的素描課程遵循了如「素描俱樂部」等工作坊的傳統，強調角色塑造和敘事。
艾普莉的學術工作專注於發展一種素描哲學和方法，將重點放在敘事和自學上，同時具有足夠的靈活性，以便隨著其他藝術家的成長和變化而進一步發展；這樣她希望能夠激發藝術家與觀眾之間，以及不同媒介和領域的藝術家之間的開放和好奇的對話，這是她擔心在年輕一代中逐漸消失的。
