During these 8 weeks, students will learn and practice the fundamentals of a figure-drawing block-in, eventually moving on to describing form and light effects throughout a sustained pose. Instruction emphasis will be on gesture, structure, and proportion, while still maintaining a holistic read on the drawing

Beyond establishing a strong block-in, students will then begin to build upon and refine their drawings, gaining the opportunity to solidify concepts such as tonal relationships, structure, and form.

Gradually, we will take these specific block-ins to a finish in tandem with our discussions on achieving light effect through value relationships, and form through clarity and integration. We will explore the figure's relationship to environment through atmosphere, while still holding onto specificity and improving our final design.

*This Class will feature a long-pose model that will be shared between Ethan's Monday Figure Drawing and Mina Mohtasham's Wednesday Figure Drawing courses. These classes can be taken separately or in conjunction with each other as an extended program*
