SPRING ADULTS: Life Drawing: Basic Anatomy and the Figure Part 2

Course Description:     
For centuries artists have rigorously studied human anatomy and drawing from self in order to create dynamic figure drawings and paintings. By drawing on techniques (value, proportion, mark making, line, form, and more) from the great figurative artists, using a human skeleton, live model, casts, and reproductions students will gain an introduction to technical and artistic working knowledge of the human form. Using the principles of teaching anatomy specifically for artists this class will emphasize drawing the skeleton, muscular system, and building the figure from the inside out. A model and fellow students/self will be used for most sessions. We will supply the models.

This class is a continuation of the self-portraiture class from the Winter Session.

This is a technical class and if you have some drawing experience already it would be preferable but not required. You will be expected to produce anatomical renderings of the skeletal and muscular system as well as self-portraits!
