THIS IS A WEDNESDAY CLASS
Understanding the human form on a structural level leads to improved proportion, more dynamic and energetic figures, and will greatly improve drawings done from imagination. Working from the live model, students will learn to draw the figure, aiming for strong gesture and draftsmanship. Through observational and expressive figure drawing, you will leave this class with knowledge of the most important drawing techniques, along with finished pieces of artwork to take home with you.
This class will focus on proportions, balance, volumes, rhythm, light, shadow and color. Poses will range from short to long, to focus on capturing the movements and fundamental construction of the figure, and understanding the abstract rhythms that make the figure such an important and captivating subject. There will be constant demonstrations, examples, and fun exercises. Price includes $40 in modeling fees for 4 weeks
