Students learn basic anatomy and will begin to develop an understanding of the way a figure inhabits space; thus able to successfully reproduce this space in two dimensions. The goal of the course is to learn academic, realistic representation of the figure: Emphasis will be on accurately rendering the figure on the page in proper proportion. Students work up to developing a personal style within the confines of academic figurative art.

Homework 2/14: Happy Valentines everyone!
There are TWO PARTS to your homework this weekend:
PART 1:
As we are working on gestures, and love comes in all sorts of different packages, I want you to work on a collecting a few different sketches for next Tuesday. ALL should be 2-3 minute sketches if possible (or longer, your choice):
5 one-person sketches
5 two-person sketches
5 three (or more) person sketches
REMEMBER: The more people you have in a sketch the more complications you will come across. The two figures do NOT have to be touching, but must be interacting in frame (for example can be seated together on a bench, working at a desk, etc)
You may inform the people you are drawing them, but you should not take more than 2-3 minutes to get each sketch.
PART 2:
I want you to find four examples of COLLAGE/ COMPOSITE (layered) work, any static, 2-D media.
OBVIOUSLY these need to be figurative in nature!!
Post these to the blog.
Good luck!!
See you next week!
