The Human Form B: Heads, Hands, and Feet
Class | Available
This course is organized into 3 units of study regarding The Human Form: the Head, Hands and Feet. Through exercises focused on structural, anatomical, and aesthetic representations, students will learn to simplify these highly complex and deeply nuanced areas of the body. Learning basic essential information provides a solid foundation for further artistic expression, exploration and creativity when working from observation and from imagination.
In class exercises, students will develop their technical skills in drawing while building a sketchbook of information that will function as an individual reference manual for the study of Heads, Hands and Feet. Students will also work directly from life, observing the model in active poses and sustained long poses, communicating meaning through expressive gesticulation and subtle shifts in movement.
