Anatomy for Life Drawing

Course Code: ARTS0006

This course is suitable for all skill levels, but some prior experience drawing a life model is recommended.
"The eye sees what the mind comprehends."
Understand how to build your drawing, based on both skeletal and muscle structure, through this exploration of the anatomy of the human figure. Building on traditional drawing techniques such as gesture, contour and mass drawings, discussion will address both how to draw and what to draw. The ultimate goal is learning how to "see with your hand", and develop greater accuracy and expressiveness in your work. Life models and anatomic manikins will be used to understand living anatomy and movement. Instruction will include daily demonstrations and exercises.
