FA245 Figure Drawing

Examines the possibilities of the human figure as the principle subject of study using male and female models, clothed as well as nude. There is a long and rich tradition that comes with the study of the figure in drawing. This course investigates a number of traditional approaches, as well as more contemporary ideas. Concentrations will range from single-figured quick contour sketching to multi-figured full volume tonality with particular attention given to proportion, mass and modeling. Media will include graphite, ink and charcoal. Prerequisite: permission of instructor. ART
