Official Description

This course will focus on developing the essential skills needed for drawing the human body as well as the creation of a strong conceptual framework for creating art. Students will work from historical images, the figure, still life, portraiture and the imagination to gain insight into the use of a variety of media and concepts. Emphasis will be placed on simplifying the complex anatomy of the body into readily understandable visual systems. Proportional systems, structure and style will be covered in depth.
