This HYBRID IN-PERSON class is an introductory-level class in life drawing. This is a great follow-up to online Life Drawing Basics: Gesture and Line or Life Drawing Basics: Gesture and Line HYBRID.
Give your drawings more impact and dimensionality. This 5-week online course will focus on the volumes of the human form and methods to show their sculptural volumes through line and through values (lights and darks) in-person, taught from TSA.
Classes will involve instructor demos, support material and lots of drawing time. Working through a series of guided exercises, we will consider the masses and surface volumes of people. We will investigate cross-contour and contour hatching. Shading approaches using conte crayon and charcoal will also be explored.
Each class will be a springboard for recommended at-home exercises, to be shared at the start of the following class.
Students registering in this IN-PERSON version of the course will work in the TSA studio. Instructor Thomas Hendry will also be teaching up to 12 students ONLINE in the online version of this course. It is an experimental approach to teaching both online and in-person together and will include a maximum of 5 students in studio.
Note: It is recommended that students have had some prior figure drawing/gesture drawing experience, or at least an introduction to drawing basics as this course is not recommended for absolute drawing beginners.
