ART 203 Life Drawing 3 credits
This course is an intensive study of the human figure. Students are provided with experiences in controlling proportion, placement, gesture, mass and volume. Some anatomy is included. The emphasis is on basic skills and discipline with focus on action structure, design and expressive potential of the figure. Students draw from the nude model as a means of understanding form, shape and line. The course emphasizes shorter poses as training in immediate response to gesture and form. Traditional and invented drawing tools are used. 11 (6 laboratory hours)
