Students from any skill level, beginning to advanced, will tackle a variety of strategies for translating the figure from life onto paper using graphite and charcoal. The course will focus on proportions, balance, volumes, rhythm, light, and shadow. From quick gestural drawings to developed, fully shaded compositions students will gain a solid foundational understanding of the human figure.
