FIGURE DRAWING

I am available for private lessons for drawing, painting and figure.  Contact Annie Menick-Beck at the Indianapolis Art Center.  I am also available to conduct weekend workshops.

I am  scheduled to teach two 7 week figure drawing classes at the Indianpolis Art Center on Monday evenings beginning in the fall of 2010. I will also monitor morning and afternoon open studio figure sessons on Fridays  and Sunday afternoons through May, 2010.

 

Please read the following syllabus for the breakdown of class instruction. Students should bring their media of choice to all classes.


Beginning to advanced students will explore the contemporary viewpoints and aspects of figure drawing. Fundamental elements including anatomy, line quality, value and massing, proportion and foreshortening will be explored. Handouts will be provided to help reinforce basic concepts. Several approaches of these elements will be presented to help you develop your individual style, be it along traditional academic lines or a more contemporary emotive style. Students will work in their media of choice from professional models, starting with short poses and continuing to extended poses.

Students from previous classes will continue  to refine their skills and explore various media.  Students are asked to bring their own drawing materials to class.
