Step 1: Students create a rough draft drawing defing the contour and details of their subject.
Step 2: Students reproduce or transfer their drawing to colored paper of their choice. Students may create as many layers as neede to create the illusion of space or Unity in their design.
Skeletal Anatomy
Objectives: Students will become familiar with human anatomy, the skeletal structure and learn basic proportions. In the next lesson students will use the skeletal form to draw the figure. Students must understand the framework on the inside in order to draw the outside
* Students will be provided with either a 22' or 36' anatomically correct skeletal model to observe.
* Students may choose paper type and medium of their choice for their final draft.
Gesture Drawing

OBJECTIVES:
Students will improve figure drawing
skills. Students will improve their perception of proportions of human figure. Students will explore drawing using expressive line to
create Form.
Assignment:
Students will complete a series of
15 Gesture Drawings 30 seconds each from observation on newsprint. Drawings should show form, weight and movement. Try to express the feeling of the pose.Figures should be drawn rapidly with out pre-thinking. Lines in the firgure should show
mass.
* Practice drawing the figures on the right using as few lines as possible to campture the poses. Draw quickly and begin with 2 strong lines that define the position of the pose
Features of the Face and Portrature
