OSHER 814 - Figure Drawing

Any artist interested in building knowledge and improving basic drawing skills cannot overlook the importance of gaining experience in observing and rendering the fascinating human form. This beginning course will offer insight into recognizing fundamental proportions, body mass, and movement while becoming familiar with the names of many common bones and muscles. Since we all live with an amazing human body, gaining appreciation for the miraculous machine it is, and how it serves us, is worth looking into. No previous experience is necessary and students will be given instructions on the first day of class as to what inexpensive drawing materials will be recommended.
