Figure Drawing and Anatomy (Improvers)

This course will provide a deeper understanding of how to draw human anatomy and allow further opportunities to explore this fascinating subject within other practices such as life drawing, portraiture, illustration, animation and sculpture. Alongside typical proportion work/physiology and the use of expressive line and tone a further range of different approaches and mediums will be explored. Pencil, charcoal and chalk will be joined by simple colour work and the Trois crayons drawing technique. Analytical work on the human head will look at the Loomis method and further artists from art history discussed alongside appropriate techniques. Three-dimensional resin anatomical reference models and photographic and diagrammatic visuals will be provided to work from. All art materials provided.
