Figure Drawing for Teens and Adults

SATURDAYS — 9:30 AM – 12:30 PM

Drawing the human form is the benchmark of drawing. This class will focus on the importance of understanding anatomy to decipher what is being drawn. Students will become familiar with anatomical vocabulary and structure. Lessons will give emphasis to different skeletal/muscle groups, but we will not be drawing isolated bones and muscles. Students will be given reference materials each week and should plan to study and practice drawing in their sketchbooks throughout the semester. Students will work primarily in NuPastel, please refer to the supply list for exact materials. An additional model fee of $36 applies. This class is open to both teens and adults of all skill levels.
This is a 12-week virtual class beginning on January 9th. This class is available to attend in-person or virtually via Zoom conference. Instructions to access the Zoom meetings and other class resources will be sent via email as we near the start of the semester. All students attending the class in person must follow the protocols put in place to assure the safety of staff and students.
