20815221Life Drawing 3
Course Information
Description
This course continues life drawing with emphasis on expression, articulation, and refinement of technique for dramatic effect. Students are expected to further their skills from Life Drawing 1 and Life Drawing 2. Effects of environment, lighting, and composition will be emphasized. Students will be guided toward a portfolio of figurative drawings that demonstrate their unique approach to depicting the human form. Students will build a portfolio of advanced level figure drawings.
