Good composition is key to producing high quality work. Acceptance to a professional college of art often depends upon how well you understand, and your interpretative use of, the figure. You will undertake a program of work focusing on the nude and costumed figure. Basic anatomy will familiarize you with important muscular and skeletal features. Drawing projects include still-life and figure drawing, studies in perspective, and an introduction to materials such as oil pastels, brush and ink, and charcoal.
Housing is available.
You'll have access to HSSI studios from Monday through Thursday after class and Friday afternoons so that you may pursue your own work or finish Institute assignments.
