ARTS 3140 - Figure Drawing (4 Cr.)

Course description

This course is designed to develop skills in drawing through observation and interpretation of the human form. Though the practice of observational drawing from a live model, students will develop visual perception skills and understanding of pictorial space including exercises in gesture, contour, outline, and tonal modeling. Some in-class work and assignments will be structured with strict limitations, including choices of media. Students will explore contemporary viewpoints and modern aspects of the figure through slide lectures, class discussions, and outside assignments.
