Gesture Drawing

Overview

This course is a complement to Life Drawing, focusing on the expression of gesture in the human form. In-class drawing sessions use live models, both nude and costumed, in a variety of character and story-driven poses. Students will learn critical elements of dynamic drawing, such as pose analysis, silhouette development, proportion, balance, and critical thinking in terms of storytelling and design. By drawing quickly and spontaneously, students learn to be more creative, inventive, and versatile as visual artists. Students are expected to cover the cost of supplies, estimated between $30 to $60.
