Description
In this follow-up to Drawing Techniques – Part 1, students will build on their observational skills while exploring color and expressive mark-making. Working from a live model, students will study the human form through gesture, proportion, line weight and volume. Beginning with rapid one- to five-minute warm-up poses to capture the body’s movement and energy, students will progress to longer poses focused on light, shadow and anatomical structure. Using ink and soft pastels, students will experiment with atmosphere, texture and emotional expression. Students will develop confidence in drawing the human figure, using materials and composing their work as they begin to develop their own artistic voice. This course is intended for intermediate-level students. Students are responsible for purchasing all supplies before the first class. A supply list will be sent to students’ college email addresses before the course begins. (12 hours, 6 meetings)
