DRW2012 Special Topics: Life Drawing II

Students in Life Drawing II will expand and build upon the principles and techniques introduced in Life Drawing, with a heightened emphasis on the further development of technical core skills and a critical understanding of life drawing as an ongoing practice (even accomplished artists sustain regular practice drawing from the human form). Students in Life Drawing II will employ a variety of advanced techniques, including foreshortening, freehand proportion measuring, gesture and full-scale value-modeled drawing. Students study the human form through drawing sessions with a nude model and through action studies of both nude and clothed figures. Through observation and analysis of the works of historical and contemporary artists and through critiques of their own work, students explore critical concepts intrinsic to depicting the human figure in art. Students must have completed DRW2011 with a grade of “C” or higher as a prereqisite. Lab fee / materials fee applied to this course. Credits: 3.000
