Drawing II: Figure

3 Credits · Level: Undergraduate

This course emphasizes the techniques of classical drawing from the life model. Working primarily with black and white materials, students learn to capture the pose with short warm-up drawings (croquis/gesture), develop a quality of line with contours and become familiar with proportions by measuring and foreshortening. Slides, reproductions, and a possible field trip to museums or an artist’s studio will supplement students’ drawings
