Really looking forward to teaching at BACAA (Bay Area Classical Art Atelier) - This weekend workshop in December (2,3 & 4 2022) will be the first of two sessions.
In this weekend workshop series, we will explore figure drawing by deepening our understanding of structure and anatomy. The class will build from the ground up, working from the live model with strategies that will help us understand the dynamics of the body. We will study key skeletal landmarks and see how they are organized in volumetric perspective via the active and passive rhythms of the body. The movement curve will guide the proportion of our block in, unify the major masses of the body, and help us to anticipate formal pathways. Ultimately, light will lead the way as we ground and reinforce our perceptual experience with a better conceptual realization of the figure in our drawings.
Content breakdown:
The Movement Curve - The dynamic energy of the body
The Envelope & Block in - The perceptual foundation of our drawing
Anatomical Landmarks, Volume and Perspective - Realizing the figure in three dimensions relative to our point of observation
Planarity and Tone - The woven relationship of structure and light
My goal for the course is for each student to strengthen their understanding of these ideas while exploring the figure drawing process.
