In this course, students learn to draw the human figure, utilizing both traditional and non-traditional principles and techniques. Styled after a foundation art school figure drawing course, the principles of form and gesture are applied to in-class live model sketching and homework figurative studies. Communicating gesture, creating accurate anatomy and proportion, and developing a body of figurative portfolio work are inherent to this course, supported by in-class demonstrations and lectures. Students are expected to cover the cost of supplies, estimated between $50 to $80.
