+FIGURE DRAWING (with Model)-Instructed Curriculum - EYSC -2023 **THIS IS A 3-WEEK COURSE**


  • OPAL 720 Chicago Avenue Oak Park, IL, 60302 United States (map)

The key to successful figure drawing is to capture the expressive essence of the form through attentive mark-making and convincing structure. This three-week session will introduce a gesture approach to the figure and will include basic skeletal anatomy to assist in achieving proper proportions of the human form. Basic measuring techniques will be reviewed as they apply to the figure.

Students who wish to utilize the figure as a starting point for personal interpretation will be encouraged to do so.

This class can be repeated.

Thursday, 10am to 12pm

Instructor: David Kohan
