This course is designed to introduce students to the familiar medium of drawing and its application to the human form.

A disciplined drawing approach to anatomy will emphasize structure, physical irregularity, and the expressive quality of the body. By the end of the course, students will have a better grasp on communicating visually, expressing ideas and opinions and understanding visual choices made by others - and the role of the human body in these areas. Techniques will include perceptual drawing, gesture, value, contour, perspective, as well as various media like pencil, charcoal, ink and collage. Code 4 course fee.
