About
Overview
Beginning, returning, and advanced students are welcome to explore drawing and painting in this course where we'll capture the spirit and vitality of the human form. Activities will include quick gesture poses and contour drawings. As we become familiar with the nuances of the figure's line and form, we will work toward longer poses. To create lively and expressive drawings and paintings, we will use materials including graphite, charcoal, and acrylic paint. This course places an emphasis on ways of seeing and capturing the essence of the human form over mathematical lessons on proportion.
