Please note: this is an advanced level figure drawing class. Drawing experience required. Figure drawing is an active process; an engagement with material that is both physical and intellectual. In this class, students will be encouraged to work in terms of process rather than making a finished product, in order to foster curiosity and therefore, insight. Insights will be learned through visual problem solving, exploring the looking and seeing relationship, and the expression of touching marker to paper. This class is a choose your own adventure, as it is completely self-directed. As soon as class starts, we will dive into meditation as a group through deep concentrated drawing time. Emphasis will be on gesture poses, working our way up through short poses of various time lengths, and ending each class with 20 minute poses. In addition, our entire final class day will be spent on a long pose. (Troubleshooting, corrections, and critiques of student work made upon request to the instructor during 5 minute breaks between poses.) Price of the model is included in the cost of the class. The cost includes a $100 model fee. Please bring paper and drawing materials to class. Materials list available at sharonartstudio.org
