Life Drawing 2: Making Stronger Drawings
8 Week Class | Available
Develop your personal voice and expression in life drawing. Once we have a foundation in drawing the forms of people’s bodies, then the challenge moves to “what can we do with this?” This course sets out to address that question, by exploring the picture-making side of life drawing. Working with live models, we will explore different aspects of drawing, with an eye to making more personal and compelling figure drawings. Among the elements we will experiment are: Line, Value and contrast, Composition & Mark-making.
Prerequisite: Prior life drawing experience.
Base Tuition: $420 + Model Fee: $100 + Material Fee: $5 = $525 Total
