Course Description

This class will introduce the student to the fundamentals of drawing from the figure. Drawing is a visual language that teaches how to see: the student will develop an understanding of the visual language used to describe form. In this case the human form.

 

By learning the fundamentals of drawing, a substantial base is created for further learning: painting, sculpture, printmaking and design to name but a few disciplines. The following elements will be covered in this course: gesture, form, line, volume, light, proportion/scale, anatomy, and composition. Every class will progress from short to long poses.

 

Instruction Philosophy

Instruction has been designed to include different learning styes.

Instruction for this course will engage both sides of the brain- the intuitive side

(as with gesture drawing) as well as the logical side (as in use of basic math and geometry).  Meeting the learners where they are helps create a positive joyful place in which to develop drawing skills.
