FIGURE DRAWING IN THE STUDIO
7 THURSDAYS
Jan.30 – March 13
5:00 pm to 7:30 pm
Learn the human figure’s structure while drawing a figure from observation. Working from the model, emphasis on gesture, balance and proportion will be stressed in order to develop believable form. Students should leave this class with a better understanding of the figure’s key anatomical landmarks while forming a sense of expressive gesture.
