Life Drawing with Model: 6-week class meeting Wednesday evenings. Life Drawing is an extremely rewarding and challenging
activity that requires a logical sequence of drawing principals. This course will cover the art of gesture drawing,
basic structuring and introductions into the human anatomy. The combined information will help the artist to construct
a solid three-dimensional figure. How a drawing begins will be a key factor in its success. A focus will be placed on
studies to increase skills of observation. The goal of this course is to expand on the artist's natural ability, to
express the figure with more confidence.
