About this Event

Learn to draw the human figure, where the principles of form and proportion as well as gesture and movement are applied, with the aid of a live model.


Learn the fundamentals of capturing the human anatomy with traditional techniques.In this class, you'll learn how to:


  • Develop better observational skills
  • Hand-eye coordination
  • Draw short and long poses
  • Learn human proportions through observation of a live model
  • Mark making with charcoal
  • Work with lines, shape, and value
  • Draw in a loose and expressive way


Students will create several sketches of each week's live model. Gain experience, confidence, and knowledge with how to draw from life and capture the human body.
NOTE: Models will not be fully nude, nor considered 'clothed.' They will be wearing minimal body coverings over private areas so there is little interference in drawing the human body.
