Life Drawing by Rob Anderson

 

 

INTRO TO LIFE DRAWING

Instructed by Paul Loehle

Introduction to Life Drawing is a 5-week sequential course providing guided instruction in drawing from the live human figure. While designed to be an introductory course it is structured to serve a wide range of skill-sets on an individual basis.

Life Drawing is the backbone of understanding how to depict the world. The rhythms and energy of the body could not be more personal, timeless, or evocative as catalysts for art making. Skills developed in the practice of figure drawing are broadly applicable to many visual art practices.

In this class we will address the figure as something familiar. Students will be given exercises that will promote confidence in drawing the complicated human form. Issues of anatomical structure will also be addressed throughout the course.

Emphasis will be placed on individual progress in a positive environment. This class is about rigorous learning. The instructor will give demonstrations and there may be occasional lectures. The main goal of this class is for the student to develop a clear understanding of basic human form and proportions, as well as strategies for approaching life drawing techniques.
