This class will focus on combining the elements of figure construction, with a strong focus on the importance of gesture and movement. Inert bodily forms will be brought to life to create active and expressive figurative work that will be a springboard for further evolution in student work.
Each class will consist of fast-paced figure drawings, culminating in solid finished pieces. Simple tools such as charcoal and pastel will be utilized to follow the speed and energy of the figure.
