This course offers students a variety of fun, creative ways to approach the human figure. The course covers basic proportions, anatomy, angles, gesture and contour drawing, negative space, foreshortening, tone and mark-making. Through guided instruction and feedback, the emphasis is on creative freedom and free expression. This approach results in dynamic drawings, and a generative body of work. The same course content is offered in the two 5-week blocks and is suitable for beginners through to the advanced practitioner and any returning students who can guide their own practice. Please note all sessions work with undraped models.
