College Preparation: Introduction to the Figure / Advanced Drawing
College Preparation: Introduction to the Figure / Advanced Drawing
This course further develops skills of observation, spatial analysis, and compositional organization. Traditional and experimental drawing activities allow the student to explore conceptual challenges in a variety of media. A portion of the class meetings are devoted to figure drawing from a live nude model. Proportion and structure as well as gesture and expressive qualities of the figure are introduced. Advice and direction is available for those students preparing a portfolio for art college admissions.
