Figure Drawing   

Discover the fundamentals of figure drawing in this dynamic class, where we'll explore both observational accuracy and conceptual interpretation of the human form. Rooted in classical drawing techniques, this course will emphasize traditional methods of measuring proportion, constructing the figure with geometric forms, and refining drawings through careful attention to light, shadow, and edge quality. You'll learn to build the body from the inside out—starting with internal structures like the skeleton and layering external forms. We’ll also examine different ways to interpret the figure, encouraging you to push beyond naturalism and develop your own visual relationship with the human form. Open to all skill levels! This course involves drawing naked bodies.
