Crash Course in Anatomy Drawing for Young Artists
If you are intimidated to sketch the figure look no further! This course places an emphasis on the form, proportions and movements that can be created in loose, gestural sketches of the figure!
Together we will explore the anatomical anatomy of the body with the help of references of the muscles and skeleton using the drawing media of students
choice! We will also look at how major anatomy markers on the body can be used to simplify the figure into a series of gestural lines. Students are encouraged to bring in their preferred drawing tools, however if they want to experiment with wet materials they are encouraged to do so! Students will finish the course with a sketchbook full of figure and anatomy drawings to add to their portfolios!
