Alumna Whitney Mongue '10 and Guest in Art III/IV
Whitney Mongue ('10) a graphic design major at University of Memphis, taught a class on figure study with the help from her cousin, Taylor, who is competitive gymnast and fourth in the sate in all age groups. She is currently training for the Olympics. Whitney began by asking the
students to draw several short 30 second sketches as Taylar performed various poses. The students were amazed at her agility! Then she allowed the students to work on a ten minute sketch while Taylar held a more challenging pose. Whitney then proceeded to instruct the students on an individual basis pointing out successes and advising improvements. She was very encouraging and the students were thrilled to have a recent alumna teach them. Taylor loved the interaction with the older students and when the figure study sessions were complete, she entertained the class by standing on her hands and walking around the classroom.
