Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this anatomy drawing class:

This class focuses on developing the student’s understanding of the structural and anatomical components of the human figure. 

For the first half of each class the instructor gives a lecture and demonstration, drawing specific areas of the body’s anatomy in detail. Emphasis is placed on fostering an organized, three-dimensional concept of the various parts of the body, enabling the student to more accurately draw the figure from life and from imagination. Students spend the second half of each class drawing from a live model, focusing on the material covered in the lecture and exploring ideas about movement, balance, rhythm, and action in the figure.

For Intermediate to Advanced Level.

Q&A

Q: Can I make up a class if I miss one? 
A: No, there are no makeup classes. Because art is taught with demonstrations and demonstrations are time consuming, if one person misses the class each week, the instructor would spend the first part of each class repeating the demonstration from last week before moving on to the next lesson, which isn't fair to the students who attended. That said, most of our classes are taught atelier style. If there is a demonstration during the particular session, after the demonstration, the instructor goes to each student to work with them on a one-on-one basis. During this time, the instructor can work with you if you missed the previous week to talk and explain what to do.

Q: Are materials provided and included in the cost of the class? 
A: No. Materials list includes:
  • Texts: No specific text is required, but serious students should acquire and read as many anatomy books as they can afford, since so often the strength of one book is the weakness of another.
  • 18” x 24” drawing pad (use of newsprint is discouraged)
  • Drawing board with clips or tape
  • Pencils – HB, 2B, 3B, 4B
  • Kneaded eraser
  • Knitting needle, barbecue skewer, or similar object for measuring proportions
  • Retractable blade for sharpening pencils (no straight-edge razors, please)
  • Sketchbook with spiral binding, around 9” x 12” to 11” x 14”
  • Notebook
Suggested Optional Materials
  • 18” x 24” charcoal pad with toned color paper
  • Vine charcoal
  • Charcoal pencils – hard, medium, extra-soft
  • Conté (or other brand) sticks and pencils - sepia and sanguine
  • Chamois
  • Colored pencils for note-taking

Refund Policy

100% refund will be issued up to seven days after the first class. After this, no refund will be issued.

MAKE-UP POLICY
Unfortunately, we do not offer makeup classes. The instructor can tell them what they missed. Most of our classes are taught atelier style. If there is a demonstration during the particular session, after the demonstration the instructor goes to each student to work with them on a one-to-one basis. During this time the instructor can work with the student who missed the previous week, talk with them and explain what to do.
