The course has two primary objectives: first, to embellish the student’s disciplining of the hand to work in concert with the eye through techniques, devices, and tools. Second, the course should attune the student to how these aspects of drawing might be utilized in visually conveying specific concerns. Through each practice, we will develop a growing understanding of spatial relationships to develop visual and material language for two-dimensional space. This Figure Drawing course has two primary objectives: Firstly the students will learn about the techniques and tools appropriated in Beginning (contour, sighting, vertical and horizontal alignments, one- and two-point perspective, etc.). Secondly the course focuses on the Figurative style as a practice to approach the space in the drawing. This course is designed for both basic and intermediate drawing level. The students will be introduced to pencil, charcoal and ink during the course. MEASURABLE OUTCOMES: Upon successful completion of this course, students will: - Develop working habits and how to manage time. - Learn to draw with more confidence and skill. - Strengthen their observational skills. - Understand accuracy of drawn relationships (line, scale, shape, volume, value, texture, etc.) - Learning about values and linear perspectives in figure. Introduce artists: Since learning to draw requires learning how to see, looking at accomplished artists’ renderings throughout history is an important discipline to maintain. In the beginning of every practice, I will give a short presentation about the practice of the day and introduce some new artists related to the class practice.
