Drawing the figure in poses that emphasize gesture has dynamic possibilities. A wide range of wet and dry media, such as crayon, ink, and watercolor, will be used to explore the expressive means of drawing with line, value, color, volume, spatial depth, cast shadow, viewpoint, rhythm, texture, and composition. The length of poses will range from one to twenty minutes, giving you the opportunity to produce a large number of multimedia drawings in the eight three-hour classes. This workshop will be invaluable for building a portfolio, as well as extending your drawing skills while you are developing a versatile response to materials. Group discussions will be held, and classes will be enriched with examples and readings.
