Big Sunday happily welcomes you to Our Really Big Community Calendar.
We try to include all kinds of volunteering and helping opportunities for all kinds of interests, talents, passions, and ages! As you’ll see, these include volunteering opportunities (one-time and long-term) as well as the chance to support a nonprofit by attending fundraising events. Plus, of course, we include all of Big Sunday’s homegrown events, too! Whoever you are, and whatever you do, there is someone out there who could use your help.
If you have questions about our calendar, or would like to add a listing, please contact calendar@bigsunday.org or submit your event/opportunity via the button below.
Students have the option for enrolling for the whole 4 weeks, or 2 weeks sessions, either Session 1 or Session 2.
Session 1: July 10th – July 21th
Students will learn how to depict the illusion of three-dimensional objects through the language of linear and tonal drawing. The subjects of the sphere, cube, cone, cylinder, egg and cylindrical ring are possible subjects that will serve as foundational elements for the later study of casts. This program will introduce the student to ideas of linear construction using complex cross-contour analysis of form. Students will also be introduced to the properties of light and shadow necessary in the depiction of form in the first week. In the second week of the program, students will proceed to linear and tonal investigation of more complex, hybrid geometric forms.
Session 2: July 24th – August 4th
Students will be focusing on the complexity of the human head, students will engage in portrait drawings with an emphasis on precision and capturing the idiosyncratic proportions, features, and likeness of the face. Lectures will focus on the structure of the features as derived from classical Greco/Roman aesthetics as well as the Italian Renaissance, and how to utilize structures in decoding/understanding more naturalized forms. During the end of the program students will be introduced to drawing the portrait from a live model.
Students will be treated to Special Guest Artists and LAAFA Faculty for Lectures, Demos and More…
*During the course of this program, students will receive individual projects ranging from simple objects, cast studies, still life and drawing from the live model. Students may also learn the principals of painting. This will be based on their drawing progress in the program.

Fundrasier in support of: The Ovarian Cancer Circle Inspired by Robin Babbini
It is our pleasure to invite your support of Safe Place for Youth's 5th Annual Carnival fundraiser. The event will be hosted by one of our founding Board Members, and CAA Super Agent, Peter Micelli, and his wife Jennifer, with 100% of proceeds going towards Safe Place for Youth's programs that help homeless youth exit the streets.
Each year, our Carnival is an opportunity to celebrate and reflect on our ever-expanding impact in a fun, family setting. We are proud to share that in 2016, SPY provided life-saving services to over 1,000 youth.
With the 62% increase in in youth homelessness across our county this year, support from our community partners is now more crucial than ever. Your backing is essential in helping us not only maintain, but grow our programs that include case management, legal counseling, health & wellbeing, pregnant & parenting guidance, education & employment services, and the meeting of basic survival needs.
Please join us as a sponsor this year to ensure the success of young people in our community.
