In this 10 week course, student will learn how to draw basic body anatomy and proportions, from a professional artist. This class will be aimed more towards how to draw bodies in space and show proper movements. Learning to draw human anatomy is helpful for students who are wanting to learn more about the artistic side of anatomy, and for students wanting to work on separate projects (i.e. anime/ animation). 

The class will begin with catching up and seeing how the students are doing for the week and if they have any questions or specific ideas they want to work on for the course. After discussing what we will be working on for the day, the teacher will instruct the students in a step-by-step drawing the body/movement for the class. During this time we will discuss the anatomy and muscles used in the movement and things to keep in mind when drawing. Throughout the class the instructor will ask to see the students drawing to offer tips and help if there is need for it. 

Students are not expected to take notes, but they are more than welcome to do so.
