Our focus for this semester will be THE FIGURE IN MOTION. We will start with Quick sketch Gestures to capture the action of the pose. General and specific proportions will be introduced. The superficial muscles of the anatomy will be included as part of rendering the figure accurately. Drapery and clothing will be discussed to increase skills for representational art studies.

ADA ACCESSIBILITY & ACCOMMODATIONS:
Our classrooms are ADA accessible. Some courses may involve tasks or activities that may be difficult for individuals with limited strength, difficulty bending over, and sitting or standing for long periods of time. We are happy to work with students to find solutions to make their experience positive and doable. For example, wheel throwing takes arm strength and bending over the wheel. Students may work on hand-building projects instead of throwing. Please reach out to our office to discuss your needs.
