DRW2011 Life Drawing

From the earliest times, the human figure has been a frequent and important subject in works of art. This course introduces students to the human figure. Students study the human form in three ways: through anatomical studies of the skeletal and muscular structure, through drawing sessions with a nude model and through action studies of both nude and clothed figures. They use a variety of techniques, including contour, gesture and modeled drawing, and a variety of materials, including pencil, charcoal, crayon and ink. Areas of focus include light and shade, point of view and composition. Through observation and analysis of the works of master artists and through critiques of their own work, students develop an understanding and appreciation of the use of the human figure in art. Each student produces a final project that demonstrates his or her unique understanding and expression of the concepts studied in the course. At the end of the semester, students participate in a student exhibit. Credits: 3.000
