Figuire drawing has always been the cornerstone of artistic training. The figure presents many technical problems such as line and tone, form and volume, foreshortening and perspective, all of which figure drawing brings to llight. We will explore many drawing techniques working from a live model over 4 weeks allowing each student to refine their drawing skills or develop new approaches to drawing to increase their individual proficiency. The instructor’s teaching style will offer you the ability to work one on one while creating a focus in any area of development which may be of use to you as an artist. The last two sessions will include an introduction to figure sculpture using wire armatures and traditional sculptural techniques. All skill levels. Instructor Elizabeth See is a graduate of the Art Institute of Chicago.
