FIGURE DRAWING, in-studio

About this event

This 7-week, in-studio, course will focus on developing skills to master the proportions and structure of the figure.

“If you can draw the figure you can draw anything!”

We’ll work with quick poses, exploring the rhythm of the body, as well as long poses, emphasizing accuracy, specificity and physical structure . We will focus on line quality and value relationships in the exercises.

• The first part of each class we’ll work with gesture drawing, exploring the feel, rhythms and movement of the body.

• The second part of the session will focus on medium length poses to develop an understanding of the overall structure of the pose, using the power of alignment as an efficient way to set up the pose and find objective proportion and form.

• The second half of each class we’ll have a long pose to learn and strengthen our understanding of the muscular structure, mass and form of the figure. This section will use light and shadow and the aspect of value relationships.

Work will be done in both graphite and charcoal.

A model fee is included in the tuition cost.
