This class will concentrate on techniques and strategies that will help you approach the human figure through drawing. The aim of the course tackles not only the classical drawing atelier style of work but, also, delves into impressionism and the school of realism for those interested in rendering the figure from life with or without experience. During the ten weeks working strictly from life and the model we will learn to unlearn, improvise and solve the problems ahead in a very personal fashion. This learning process will bring forth a type of drawing that can be evaluated from what we see, as we translate onto the paper through size relationships, contrast in values and composition.
