This life-drawing course is for beginning and advanced students. Based on a unique combination of ideas and practices derived from both academic and modern drawing principles, students will be taught to think of drawing the human body in a radically different way. While improving observational and conceptual skills, students will be taught to see that energy and rhythm, forces inherent in the living body, are both useful and insightful means to approach other more fundamental aspects of drawing. The lessons in this course, which cover structural anatomy and the use of lines to create spatial and dynamic drawings, are essential to anyone pursuing animation, cartooning or illustration.
Note: Please bring a pad of smooth white drawing paper (18x24"),a drawing board, soft graphite pencils, a pencil sharpener andan eraser to the first session.
