COURSE CONTENT
Outcomes and Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:
Untitled document
1. Review basic drawing concepts such as shape, mass, contour, volume,
space, scale, light, movement and figure/ground.
2. Use line, tonal contrasts, and foreshortening techniques to apply
the above concepts.
3. Practice basic drawing skills to achieve these ends.
4. Consider various qualities of human and artistic expression which
the figure inspires.
Topics and Scope
Untitled document
1. Use of techniques of gesture drawing to express the essential action
of the figure.
2. Recognize various factors relating specifically to the figure such
as mass, axis, proportion, distribution of weight, and basic
anatomical features.
3. Apply drawing methods to the particulars of the figure: shape, contour
(quick and slow), value and textural contrasts, volume, planes,
negative space, foreshortening, etc.
4. Practice a variety of techniques to express these elements: modeling,
shading, hatching, use of wash, etc.
5. Draw the figure in relation to props and to the immediate environ-
ment, juxtaposing similar and contrasting shapes, volumes, value
spatial axes.
6. Explore a range of graphic media and tools for drawing: pencil,
crayon, pen and brush with ink, etc.
7. Study and discuss old master drawings and good contemporary figure
drawings as they apply to various exercises.
