Introduction to life drawing

Learn and practice drawing a live model - 4 week course. Step-by-step you will experience a progression in your drawing skills and will gain a better understanding of how to compose the human body. Your ticket covers all four sessions: • Saturday 7 November - 10am - 12:30pm • Saturday 14 November - 9:30am - 12pm • Saturday 21 November - 10am - 12:30pm • Saturday 28 November - 10am - 12:30pm Workshop series outline Session 1: We will learn how to observe the shapes, form and rhythm of the human body. We'll explore how to create motion in the human form. Session 2: We will focus on the face, head, hands and feet and then express the entire body using tone. Sessions 3 and 4: By now you will see a progression in your drawing skills. With individual assistance from Joe you will revisit and further develop the techniques you were introduced to in the earlier sessions. By the final session you will have a portfolio of drawings reflecting your journey of the life drawing process.
