FD 1380 - Life Drawing II


Credits: 3
Course Type: Studio

This freshman-level course is a continuation of Life Drawing I with the inclusion of more concept-oriented issues in drawing the human figure.

Emphasis on proportions, muscular structure, foreshortening, value, and color, lead to comprehension of the human form. Upon successful completion of the course, students will have extensive practice in individualizing compositional strategies with the human figure.
