Saturday Figure Construct Class

Our Saturday Figure Construct class starts in less than a month (September 6th)! This course is a great opportunity for artists of any level to build experience with the figure. If you wish to make great strides in your capability and thorough understanding in drawing the human form, check out this class! Interested students should view the course description and syllabus available on our website.

Long Pose Figure drawing

Long Pose Figure drawing is open for next semester.

Beginning in graphite, students complete a 'cartoon'. This is a preliminary drawing that establishes proportion, body type, gesture and the correct grouping of light and dark. This important phase creates a solid structure.

Students then transfer the cartoon to toned paper and the drawing continues in graphite and chalk. The instructor will assist students in choosing an area of the figure to fully render. Through the articulation of subtle plane changes and correct value assignments, the students work towards a naturalistic and volumetric drawing.

The instructor will provide individual critiques, demos and lectures.

Please note: The Figure Construct Class is a pre-requisite for this class.

Saturdays, September 20th - November 22nd 10:00 am - 1:00pm
Cost: $455.00
Instructor: Emmy DeMusis
