Structural Figure Drawing
12 Week Class | This course is currently not open for registration.
This course is appropriate for students who struggle to make their figure drawings appear three dimensional. We will begin by focusing on how to simplify the human figure with basic box and cylinder structures. Students will then be introduced to key bone landmarks, how they relate to the structure of the skeleton, and how to reliably spot them on the human figure. Moving into the later weeks we will delve into the more specific structures of the head, hands, and feet. Topics covered will include: gesture drawing, contour drawing, form drawing, bone landmarks and observational proportion techniques. Classes will include live instructor demonstration drawings, in-class exercises with a live model, printed reference handouts and access to a class Google Drive with further resources.
Base Tuition: $540 + Model Fee: $135 + Material Fee: $15 = $690 Total
