All levels encouraged and welcome. Explore hidden curvilinear elements riddled throughout the human figure with classical and contemporary interpretations. Students explore the figure and pictorial space using traditional and mixed-media materials. Lessons, in contrast, linking the representational figure to the abstract, this semester will focus on capturing lively, expressive figurative drawings while understanding essential anatomy for the artist. In this class, you are encouraged to push your boundaries and limits. Each week, while working from a live model, emphasis is placed on careful observation of gesture and anatomical structure, line quality, and composition using traditional and contemporary materials. Included are themes to inspire, discussions of historical and modern works of art, instructor demonstrations, and focusing on understanding skeletal and muscular anatomy while creating a dynamic finished drawing. Model fees are extra. This class will meet in person.
