Core Monthly Structure Prix

This prize is awarded monthly to students in Colleen Barry’s Figure Structure Drawing class in our full time core program. The poses averages 20 hours over 5 sessions and students are instructed in anatomy, proportion and form. Inspired by the cash awards given to the best student drawing every week to encourage healthy competition among peers at the Academy Julien in Paris in the 19th Century, the Structure Prix winners receives $500. Each month Colleen Barry invites another GCA instructor to join her in choosing the winner.
