ART100J

The human body is one of the most widely explored subjects throughout the history of art. It is rife with communicative power as it literally houses the full range of human emotions. Elaborating on the basic skills acquired in Mapping, The Body will explore drawing the human figure. Proportion, anatomy, gesture, and the nude. This process-emphasis art studio workshop gauges cumulative experience rather than performance on individual drawings. Progress and success will be evaluated through the assembly of portfolios gleaned from daily drawings; this structure encourages the essential risk-taking that drawing demands by de-emphasizing the criticality of any singular drawing. Process oriented studio classes encourage good studio practice by making dedicated in-class work ethic difficult to avoid. This is an eight week course.
