Life Drawing: Theory & Practice I
Hal Hussung
Thursday, 7pm to 9:30pm
Session 2 only • Levels 1-5
Course code 168
Skillful drawing is the key to self-expression through representational art. Many students who know how to draw still have difficulty drawing a precise likeness of a model's face, realistic hands and feet, believable foreshortening, and accurate proportions. Most if not all of these problems can be traced to a specific gap in their training. Learn to draw better than you ever thought possible once you have mastered this fundamental method practiced by the 19th century Ateliers. Learn the critical difference between "perception" and "observation" and how one can radically improve all your artistic skills.
