Foundations of Drawing: Faces & Figures

Overview

In this studio class, participants will develop their use of the elements of art through practice with the human figure. The first half of the course will be focused on the face. The second half will be full figure drawing. We will experiment with different materials for mark making and will explore several drawing techniques, including gesture and shading with values. Each artist is encouraged to work with subjects of their choice and celebrate their own unique drawing style.

This class is open to very beginners and students with experience who want to continue their studies and increase their skills.
