Emphasizing the continued refinement of perceptual drawing skills, this course concentrates on the structure, movement, and expressive qualities of the figure. Students work towards a personal sensibility through a variety of drawing materials.
A combination of short gestural poses and longer studies will be included. Some time will be spent with the portrait, hands, and feet, as well as possible multiple-figure compositions.

Concepts that will be addressed include:
• Contour
• Mass
• Gesture
• Proportion
• Anatomical landmarks
• Value control
• Foreshortening
• Gravity
• Placement on the page
 
Who is this class for? While students new to drawing the human figure are welcome, this class is for students with some prior drawing experience and does not serve as an introduction to drawing.
