Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 6
Beginner Level
This is a 3-Day Series.  Students will meet 3 times to complete Part 3.
Please note: Classes will meet 3 times within the same week for Summer Break . 
This is a beginners class that focuses on the fundamentals of Dynamic Figure Drawing. Students will learn about the different parts of the figure drawing process. They will learn core concepts such as gestures, movement, perspective and basic muscle anatomy. Each concept will be explained with step-by-step practical exercises and explored through hands-on application. Emphasis will be on problem-solving, skill building, and helping students make decisions. Students will absorb reusable knowledge and gain confidence in creating unique human figures of their own.

Students who would like to learn basic fundamentals and portrait sketches are recommended to join Series Part 1 ,2 and 4.  Please see links below:

Day 1
PROPORTIONS & SHAPES
Students will be introduced to the proportions of the human body by setting up an 8 head frame, noting the rules of proportions that should be maintained when drawing figures. They also will learn how to turn a 2D figure into a 3D figure through the introduction of shapes to add volume to a body. 

Day 2
ANATOMY & FORMS
Students will further explore how to analyze anatomy and how to draw a human form as it appears in various positions or perspectives. They will learn how to simplify each part of the body into basic shapes, capturing different poses and creating their fundamental structures. 

Day 3
MOVEMENT, PERSPECTIVE & LINE OF ACTION
Students will learn how to observe, analyze and interpret a "line of action" through a series of gesture drawing exercises. They will simplify poses into their fundamental action line, capture the transferred movement, and duplicate the human form.
