Drawing the Head and Hands

Catalog description

This drawing course studies the anatomy and form of the human head and hand, and explores how to represent these most complex forms of the human figure in a two-dimensional medium. Students work with a variety of construction models and study how the application of light affects image and perspective. They apply the basic principles of construction to create an illusion of a three-dimensional form. Students may take four drawing courses (ART 80, 81, 82, 85, 86, 88, or 186) for a maximum of 12 units.
