Details

• Arrive 15 minutes early so you have time to set up and prepare. Doors will close promptly at 10:00 AM, and we'll have a brief introduction to studio culture and the class model.
• You'll learn about the skeletal and muscular systems, the rules of proportion, and how planes create three-dimensional form, then use that knowledge to experiment with mannerism, abstraction, and collaborative drawing. 
• Working with a live model through short poses and gestures, you’ll draw each pose several times with different techniques to sharpen your accuracy and develop your personal style.
• Class will end with time for experimentation where you will have time to layer various techniques used earlier in class. This is where style begins to expand and clarify.
