Description: Learn to draw the human figure using pencil, charcoal, ink, and color media with an emphasis on contour, gesture, and the underlying structure of the figure. This course will stress two basic concepts as the foundation for rendering the figure: shape and tonal value, both in the context of dynamic composition. This course will teach you how to see accurately and respond expressively; it is suitable for all skill levels as it is both a solid foundation for the beginner and a thorough review of the basics for the more experienced artist. Students will work from a professional nude model. Class cost includes model fee. Materials are not included. Open to adults and teens 16 or older.
Biography:Matt Wright
...is a graduate of the University of Tennessee-Knoxville's MFA program, and has been a Drawing and Painting instructor in the Southern Ohio and Northern Kentucky area since 2001. In that time, he has taught college level drawing foundations, an array of drawing and painting oriented community education offerings, and comic drawing for Cincinnati's library system.

"The AAC's Community Education program has been my longest standing teaching engagement (eleven years), and, in many ways, the most important to my development as an instructor. Over the years, I've learned that the challenge of being a good instructor is to identify the student's individual needs, as well as his or her subject, and to adapt my instruction to those needs. The AAC's Community Education program has been indispensable to me, for the diversity of courses I've been able to teach, as well as all the great students I've had the privilege of teaching."
