Vienna/Austria based artistic & strategic consultant in the field of music, Andreas Vierziger hosted a 3-day workshop which aims to develop awareness of contact points between various disciplines and industries as well as to develop concepts, ideas, concrete projects and artworks that are crossing borders of genres and disciplines: Different musical genres, crossover, dance, performance, visual arts, performative arts, high tech, coding, etc.

Pens & Brushes Philippines recently added another feather on their cap, with their event in Green Sun Hotel in Makati themed “The Deities of Ancient Egypt”. The activity was a life drawing session which featured male and female models that helped artists capture the same level of appreciation that the ancient civilization of Egypt was known to have for the human body – adorning and pampering it in every possible way, to unveil its beauty and mysteries.

Life drawing (nude) workshops can be intimidating for most people, even uncomfortable, but Pens & Brushes Philippines have found a way to conduct these sessions with professionalism and provide a very casual, relaxing and less intimidating environment. 

Improve yourself this year by doing something different! Join us at Portraits 360° and try the art of sketching, or even posing for illustrations. This casual art jam is very inclusive and encouraging to budding art lovers. Artists can use whatever media they choose and sell their pieces during the “Stamp & Sell” session at their chosen rate.
 
If your friends or family ever dreamed of being immortalized on paper, bring them along to be subjects! Sitters may be an individual, couple or group, and each can take home an artwork of their choice.  It’s a fun way to sharpen one’s drawing skills and an exciting venue to meet new pals.
 
The event is divided into three sets, at 30 minutes each and the acoustic band, Timog, will perform during intermission.
 
Portraits 360° is brought to you by Pens N’Brushes in cooperation with the official media partners: Art Plus Magazine, Doodle Arts Magazine, Inquirer.net and WhenInManila.com.
 
See you on the 27th of January (Saturday), at 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm at the official venue: Studio @ Fully Booked (Ground Floor, B6, Bonifacio High Street, Taguig, Metro Manila, Philippines).

​The Department of Fine Arts of Ateneo de Manila University will once again offer “Arts Work,”
an intensive five-week arts workshop that aims to hone creativity in creative writing, theater arts,
and visual arts of senior high school students.
​
Slated every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday between April 24 to May 26, 2018, from 9:00AM
to 12:00 PM, Arts Work will cover bases of practical and skill-based techniques. In addition,
intensive theory and critical discussions will supplement the workshop process, giving students a
glimpse of how art is tackled in a college setting.

On Saturday, November 25th, a group of models and actors will reenact the epic tale of Lam-Ang, through artistic tableau in full make-up and costume during the BCG Art Center Festival's Theatrical Drawing Session. This event is a dynamic and expressive figure drawing jam led by Pens N' Brushes Philippines.

"Theatrical Drawing Session is a fresh and unique figure sketching event where both artists and actors produce work in a relax and inspirational setting. Its purpose is to inspire and excite," said Angelica of Pens N' Brushes, who also organizes the successful The Life Drawing Session and the recently launched Portraits 360°. "This event will surely stimulate everyone’s imagination - from the lights and music to the actor’s elegant movements and performance that lead to one dynamic imagery.”

The Fourth edition of the Life Drawing Session themed, “The Courtiers of Versailles”, was held last 28th September at Penbrothers in Makati. The event honored the grand monarch and great lover of the arts, Louis XIV, who died 302 years ago. The venue, which housed over 40 artistic participants, was transformed into an opulent chateau while still maintaining the signature relaxed vibe.
