Description

NOTE: For Painting majors, elective instructor cannot be the same as studio instructor.

This course will challenge students to draw figures and portraits from observation. Students will develop an understanding of their own mark-making and sensitivities to form while also demonstrating an understanding of proportion and form. Drawings will begin in charcoal and pencil but move on to acrylic painting. Additionally, students will be tasked with drawing self-portraits in their sketchbook and in larger sizes. Portrait and Figure drawing is a course for students who want to develop a stronger understanding of observation, tonality, as well as anatomy.
