COURSE DESCRIPTION

This unique and in-depth class features nude and costumed models utilizing high quality photography with exceptional lighting. Figure Drawing III will take the student back to observational drawing and the study of gesture toward a better understanding of proportions, in seeing the larger issues of picture making before the smaller ones and in capturing the elusive spirit of the pose. Students will learn to create drawings that live on the page and in the mind of the viewer. Personal point of view as well as confidence in ones choices will be stressed. Students will be able to see demonstrations, presentations and get feedback on their work both Live and On Demand, allowing for total schedule flexibility.
