ART 1040 Figure Drawing I

3 Hours

Prerequisites: ART 1030

The course practice will consist primarily of observing and drawing the human figure in a wide range of poses, lighting conditions and time frames, and learning to use a variety of media and techniques. Special emphasis will be on placing a figure within a composition and using correct anatomical proportions. Additional out-of-class drawings with figurative elements will be assigned in order to further develop perceptual sensitivities. Students completing the course should be able to draw the human figure using conté crayon, charcoal and graphite, as well as understand several historical approaches used to make successful figure drawings. $100.00 course fee.
