Ani Art Academies is a global, non-profit organization that delivers a comprehensive, multi-year drawing and painting education to aspiring Artists around the world. Academies are strategically located in exotic tourist destinations with the

aim to empower local Artists to create, express, and communicate in new and exciting ways. We are enabling graduates to interact with tourists and residents in a more intellectually and financially rewarding capacity.

“Ani” is derived from a Swahili word meaning that we are “on a path or great journey.” Hardworking students are rewarded with a lifetime of creative freedom through logic and discipline. In the beginning our limits are constrained by

skill – in the end they are only bound by our limitless imagination.

Great artists are not born -- they are educated.

SMALL FR AME FOR THE BIG PIC TURE - SAR AH MCGINNIS

Ever needed a hand with your paint ing (or maybe a foot)? Sometimes the smal l detai ls get lost in reference shots because we forget about the l i t t le things. Here 's your oppor tunit y to get those random shots you never think to get—fabr ic fo lds and designs, hands holding props, the back of a lady 's hair s t y le, or the boot beneath a sk i r t . We' l l be gett ing up c lose and personal on the stage to let ar t ists photograph or sketch the bits and pieces that can make or break a great paint ing. This workshop wi l l be highly interac t ive and ar t ists are welcome to design their own shots as they need. Come f i l l in those pesk y l i t t le bi ts that a lways seem to get away!

"Don' t hold that pose" is the theme for this workshop. Br ing your high speed, mult iple shot cameras to get a piece of the ac t ion as we move through di f ferent scenes. This workshop is geared towards gett ing a more real ist ic por trayal of ac t ion in your shots, instead of stat ic posed photos that miss the par t iculars that only come with ac tual motion, such as muscle tension, weight distr ibut ion and balance. Work ing with several models at a t ime, we' l l explore batt le scenes, dance, and other forms of interac t ion and motion. This wi l l be a fast-moving workshop to help get your creat ive ju ices f lowing!
