Brief Description:

This course accommodates a range of abilities from beginners to experienced artists with a focus on improving drawing skills and hand-to-eye coordination by using various techniques and media.

During the Life Drawing course, students will learn how to apply the formal elements in drawing and will study the human form from direct observation, where they can expect very quick, dynamic poses along with longer, more detailed analytical studies.

Learners will delve into anatomy, proportion, foreshortening, tone and experimental mark-making and look at the work of influential artists to help inform their own practice.
