Description:
This workshop provides intensive training in drawing. We will work primarily from the human figure to experience gesture, understand structure, and form and interpret chiaroscuro and practice proportions and angles. Through a series of exercises we will focus on line and line weight, massing and values. If there is time we will venture into color. The intention of the class is to get you drawing, to give you ease and fluidity in drawing by hand. This will enable you to more rapidly put down what you visualize in your imagination. We will be looking at the work of artists past and present.
