Drawing the Human Form

This course provides the student with specific drawing media experiences to build basic perceptual skills in terms of drawing from the human figure. Students review basic knowledge of the elements of art: line, value, shape/volume, texture and color to lead to manipulation for different types of spatial illusion and expressive meaning including the study of proportion, light, shade and simple anatomy to develop an understanding of the human figure. A variety of traditional and digital imaging tools and materials are explored. Digital assignments are completed using industry-standard software and hardware.
