Figure Drawing: This class is structured to allow beginners and practiced artists the chance to express themselves, as well as practice techniques that capture the human form in its many variations of movement and form. The class will cover lessons in Line, Contour, and Proportion, as well as techniques to as depth such as Shading and the use of Shadow for dramatic results. The result will be a greater understanding of the technique used to render form on a 2-D surface. Each class will start with a quick warm up of fast gesture drawings of the Live Model. As the class progresses, we will extend the length of the pose thereby giving you more time to spend on one drawing.
