This course will sequentially present fundamental and advanced concepts of visual perception and their application to drawing from direct observation. A thorough understanding of the visual experience and of the human figure is essential for anyone wishing to express and translate these elements to the picture plane. Students will learn to separate the elements, studying them independently and re-constructing and combining them with the other elements to create well-unified and holistic drawings.
This will foster the student's ability to perceive the visual experience with intelligence, apply this knowledge to their work and cultivate an ability to problem solve and self-correct through the process of building paintings and drawings.
Working on a two-week pose, students will explore the elements of proportion, gesture, perspective, light on form, relative value, and composition & design through the construction of a completed drawing and separate studies.
