IL 2750 - Life Drawing IV
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, examination of skeletal structures and muscle masses. This figure-drawing course utilizes pastels, watercolors, charcoal, graphite, and conté crayon to exercise and develop the drawing skills of the student. Students study advanced concepts of storytelling, costumed drapery, pose, character development, composition, and continue their study of the anatomy with particular emphasis on the head and hands. Students also examine the effect of light on form. Upon successful completion of this course, students will have a portfolio of drawings in different media demonstrating an improvement in the essentials of figure drawing developed in Life Drawing I, II, and III, with special emphasis on the expressive possibilities of the head and hands, and in-form lighting through long poses of the clothed and unclothed figure.
