Description:

This course is a studio drawing class where students work with a live model, nude and clothed. Mediums used are charcoal, charcoal pencil and brush, pen, and ink. The objective is for students to learn how to articulate a proportionate figure in poses ranging from 1-12 minutes. Students will acquire the skills to draw a dynamic figure using a diagrammatic method that teaches them to draw a "stick figure with attitude". This simple figure becomes the proportionate frame for contour line, value, pen and ink wash. The course is a recommended studio elective for Illustration, Animation and Fashion Illustration. All levels are welcome. Please come prepared to draw on the first day of class with a drawing board, 18"x24" newsprint pad, soft vine charcoal and chamois.
