DRAWING THE FIGURE
Donna Howell-Sickles
Course Description
This workshop will focus on capturing the movement and volume of the female figure through a linear approach. We will work on seeing in detail but drawing with simple, almost casual lines to capture the active feel of the model. The way the figure relates to the surrounding space of the paper to the viewer will be stressed. This will be a fairly intense class with lots of drawing, looking and interacting between students and artist. Ms. Howell-Sickles will be working with the class so everyone can see and question how she approaches the model and the drawing.
