ART 235 Figure Drawing Research

5 credits
This course is a continuation of the advanced drawing course ART 205 Human Life Drawing . Students will expand their knowledge of anatomy and conduct research outside of the studio. Students will exit this class with an ability to draw the human form accurately and identify major skeletal and muscular landmarks.

Prerequisites: Admission to the BTAD or instructor permission.

Course Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course students will be able to:

  • Identify bone structures and surface muscle in the human form
  • Use important anatomical reference points to establish proportion
  • Research internal musculature and skeletal structures, movement, and dynamics
  • Draw complex human figures in foreshortened poses
  • Identify current trends in the expressive nature of the human figure
  • Experiment with non-traditional materials and techniques
