IL 2550 - Life Drawing III: Human Anatomy Credits: 3
This course focuses on the anatomy of the human figure. Students improve their understanding of figure drawing through nude studies of the human body and examination of skeletal structures and muscle masses. This figure-drawing course allows students to exercise and develop both observational and constructive drawing skills. Students continue their study of gesture, the effect of light and shade on form, planes, constructive anatomy techniques, and achieving effective proportion through daily drawings of the draped and undraped figure. Character development, pose, composition, and illustrative storytelling themes add interest to the studies. Students use charcoal, conté crayon, inks, and pastels on various drawing surfaces. Upon successful completion of this course students will, in a variety of media, have improved their ability to apply perceptual, geometric/constructive, and anatomical modes to the drawing of the clothed and unclothed human figure, and be able to place figures in a coherent storytelling setting.
Prerequisites: FD 1380 - Life Drawing II
