Full Body Focus

After this class you will be able to draw the entire figure with a basic understanding of all its different parts and begin the process of drawing the figure within settings and environments.

Instruction topics: Utilizing all the information of the previous classes, the human figure can now be represented and perceived as a system of shapes and forms interacting together. Visual materials include preliminary drawings of famous representational figure paintings followed by a demo of drawing figures within a designated space or “setting”. There will be an emphasis on the concept of proportions and foreshortening as drawing elements in accurately depicting the body in perspective.
