ART 300-01, Life Study Drawing, Spring 2007

Abstract

This class gives you the opportunity to explore various concepts and material techniques in working with the human figure including the structure of the body (interior & exterior), proportion, value, texture, and an introduction to content as related to the body throughout the ages in a variety of media. Expect to work in and out of class. Drawing in class is a major emphasis but is not the only effort required of you. At least 50% of your assignments for the class will be done as homework. The class will be based on 17 completed assignments and a sketchbook. In some cases, finished assignments will be critiqued in class (see schedule for these projects and dates.) Portfolios will be collected at Midterm (Wednesday, February 28th) and Final (TBA either Monday, April 23 or Wednesday, April 25)
