Course Description

This course immerses students in the study of the human figure through drawing projects that investigate both its form and its capacity to carry meaning within various cultural contexts. Anatomy, motion, gesture, and a variety of techniques and media are used to explore the body as the site of messages ranging from the personal to the political.

  • Demonstrate a fast, expressive approach to mark making.
  • Demonstrate an understanding of drawing the figure three-dimensionally.
  • Demonstrate an understanding of the incremental drawing process - from gesture, to lines of construction, to contour, and values.
