Figuremania - CE

Drawing from the figure is an active process that is simultaneously physical, visual, and emotional. Develop own style while focusing on the human form as a source for drawings that investigate the relationship between expression, ideas, and subject matter. Combine basic techniques with new strategies to enhance visual memory, sensory awareness, and specific observational skills. Tap the expressive component of figure drawing by exploring new ways of seeing and creating. Opportunities to experiment with new technologies, such as computer-generated images, while working with traditional media, including graphite, charcoal, ink, and pastel. Examination of contemporary and historic drawings through slides and reproductions.
