Figure Drawing and Painting with Rob Zeller — This course
is designed to give artists of all levels a strategy in approaching
drawing and painting of the human form. While the techniques taught
will be classical in nature, there will be room for creativity.
We begin by learning to convert the great masses of the body into
specific shapes, using both linear contour and structural building
blocks. Different types of classical proportions will be discussed,
as well as different methods of measuring in a perceptual manner.
One of the main goals of this course is to teach the artist to see
the body as having architectural structure, and understanding how
to translate that concept into 2 dimensional form.
