This class will teach students to draw the human figure.
Weekly lectures range from classical drawing technique to modern drawing methods.
This course will present drawing as a way of understanding plasticity and discovering visual form. Concepts such as rhythm, plan, shift, space and volume will be offered, always grounded in how they affect the whole page. Work will largely be done from the human figure, but will include some observation of other situations as well. Historical examples will be presented and discussed throughout the class. This course focuses on the human body, both moving and at rest, as a three-dimensional object, taking into account the effect of one side on the the other, the back upon the front, and the relationships of body masses, which shift and reorganize in respect to gravity, in an effort to balance and to move.
