The class will explore such basics as perspective, light, and composition, and will offer a blend of structured projects and open drawing. One week the class will also offer a fun evening of cartooning. There will be one night of model drawing with a corresponding model fee. In drawing, learning and enjoyment are synonymous!

Life Drawing
(in conjunction with the Figurative Sculpture to Bronze class)
Instructor: Foster Willey Jr.
Skill Level: All
This course consists of figure drawing from life. Figure drawing and sculpture are closely related in that both utilize the contour of the figure to define form. Sculpture and drawing students will work from the same model and the studio will be structured to accommodate both disciplines. The class will focus on developing basic drawing skills using traditional drawing mediums. Fundamental techniques, composition, proportion, and general anatomy will be discussed and demonstrated. Students will be encouraged to develop their own sensibilities when drawing. Please request a materials list.
