Description


Remember those children's coloring books with their beautiful, even, unbroken lines that we tried so hard not to mess up with our crayons? Those lines so strongly defined drawing on a subconscious level that drawing without an outline is the first hurdle that will be addressed in this course. We will explore drawing through a variety of mediums, including pencil, charcoal, pastel, sumi ink and brush, scratchboard and acrylics. Working exclusively from the live nude, students will become familiar with the principles of drawing such as line, tone, mass, light, composition, positive/ negative space, scale, linear perspective, atmospheric perspective and analytical observation. We will do all of this in a supportive atmosphere with an emphasis on individual goals and levels of experience. Discussion of student work will be an ongoing group activity. The goal is for each student to complete the course with a newfound excitement about drawing and a sense of direction in the development of his or her drawings for the future.
NOTE: Please bring a newsprint pad (18x24") and compressed charcoal to the first session. This course may be taken for undergraduate credit. Please refer to FDD-1030-CE in the credit courses section of this website for details.

The focus of this workshop, taught by an award-winning portrait artist, is learning to see objectively and how to identify the specific proportions and structure unique to each individual.

Portrait Drawing

Course Details
  • Course Number FDC-3116-A
  • Day(s) M
  • Dates Jun 03 - Aug 05
  • Hours 06:00PM - 09:00PM
  • Ceus 3.00
  • Cost 395.00
  • Additional Fees 0.00
  • Status Open
  • Location 133/141 West 21st Street

Description

The focus of this course will be to teach the foundation that guides drawing a portrait from a live model. A step-by-step approach will make this an easy-to-understand but challenging experience. Through observation, we will analyze the structure of the face by employing different methods, from quick sketches to the more elaborate and finished portrait drawing. Proportion and scale will be emphasized with traditional concepts, such as line, shadow and volume. Our goal will be to show that the structures we draw express the character and personality of our subject, built up in layers, section-by-section and consolidated into a finished drawing. We will also explore the great masters of this discipline, from Dürer and Holbein, Rembrandt and Vermeer to modern and contemporary artists such as Lucian Freud and Alice Neel.
NOTE: Please bring drawing and newsprint pads (18x24"), soft charcoal of differing thickness, pencils (6 to 6B), a kneaded eraser and a soft vinyl eraser to the first session.

Collage Workshop

Course Details
  • Course Number FIC-2346-A
  • Day(s) TH
  • Dates Jun 06 - Aug 15
  • Hours 06:00PM - 09:00PM
  • Ceus 3.00
  • Cost 395.00
  • Additional Fees 0.00
  • Status Canceled
  • Location 209 East 23rd Street

Description

This drawing course replaces the pencil with the knife. On a theoretical level, it will examine the world of printed media in detail and then re-appropriate that media. While it starts with computer-based commercial imagery it returns the material to the hand and mind of the artist. We will begin with décollage technique, which is the removal of information from an existing source, and use it to create new collage works. Students will have very liberal guidelines as to what kind of images to make, only that they should compile as many images as possible. Class discussions focus on text and image, our mediated environment and hand skills. An exciting break for the working professional to return to art as an intellectually stimulating hand practice, it is also an entertaining exercise in artmaking for the part-time artist both in practice and as an introduction to higher level critical thought.
Note: Please bring an X-Acto knife, a ruler and a magazine (staple bound) to the first session.

Painting/Drawing Workshop

Course Details
  • Course Number FPC-2237-A
  • Day(s) M,T,W,TH,F
  • Dates Jul 22 - Jul 26
  • Hours 09:30AM - 05:00PM
  • Ceus 3.50
  • Cost 395.00
  • Additional Fees 80.00
  • Status Wait List
  • Location 136 West 21st Street

Description

This intensive workshop combines figure drawing in the morning with paintings based on "systems" in the afternoon, to get participants to work beyond their comfort zone. The fast paced, observational drawings (with multiple models) are warm-ups prior to daily painting assignments. By working figuratively, as well as abstract compositions, and quickly as well as slowly, habits are challenged, allowing participants to push themselves at a more challenging pace than the average studio course. While this class is open to all levels, its "bootcamp" atmosphere requires a serious commitment for the week.
NOTE: A supply list will be distributed upon registration for this course.

This course is for anybody, to draw anything. Most people would like to draw from their heads, but don't. This course deals with the problems that stop people from drawing without copying. If you can draw from your head, you can draw anything, because everything is in there. The Draw Anything Class is for anyone who wants to draw without copying, right now. In-class exercises will explore different media and the problems the artist confronts when drawing without reference. Students will work at their own pace with individual instruction. You will be shown how to make up your own ideas, go through the sketch process, and on through the finished drawing. Finally, we will look at how to be objective about the results. The completed drawings become the basis for new ideas, new drawings and new information. You end up teaching yourself how to draw anything, especially from your head.
NOTE: Please bring 10 sheets of white paper (8.5x11") and a felt tip (black) pen or 5B pencil or ebony pencil to the first session.
