The human figure: beautiful, complex, mysterious, the most widely drawn, painted, photographed, and sculpted subject in all of the arts.  This course is an exploration into the proportions, movements, and nuances of the human form.  With the use of live models, both nude and clothed, we will embark upon the drawing and painting of the human anatomy, with a focus on geometric shapes, proportion, foreshortening, texture, light and dark.  We will cover a variety of techniques, methods, and styles for the observing and reproducing of every aspect of the human body, including the head, body, hands and feet in a broad variety of poses, postures, and positions.  Employing a range of techniques, such as contour, "blind-contour" (a favorite warm-up tool for Leonardo da Vinci), and gesture drawing, we will learn how to measure the model, establish body and facial proportions, and interpret skeletal and muscle structure.  The function and use of proper tools and materials will also be covered, including pencils, charcoals, crayons, watercolor, oil paints, paper, and other essentials.  This course is intended for more advanced students who have completed or have the equivalent skills covered in Drawing and Painting Part One.
