ART 301 Figure Drawing I
From the classical Greek proportions of Polykleitos’ Doryphoros to the elongated, stylized dimensions of Parmigianino’s Madonna with the Long Neck, Figure Drawing I introduces the student to numerous proportional canons of the human figure throughout western art history. Various theoretical approaches to drawing the figure including the Bargue Method from the 19th century French Academy will be discussed as well as an in depth study of the structure and superficial anatomy of the figure, i.e.: skeletal and muscular systems. Image-based lectures and demonstrations provide working knowledge in the methodologies of historic and contemporary artists. Professional models are provided. Additional lab fee applies.
