Working with a life model, students will learn to identify and depict the core “gesture” of any pose. Emphasis is on short poses with the goal of increasing our ability to capture the body in motion. By focusing on the “verb” of the pose, and not the “noun,” we will explore the storytelling potential of the figure. This is an excellent class for those interested in animation and the entertainment arts or for anyone looking to inject more dynamism into their life-drawing practice.

This class is for all skill levels.

Materials: Newsprint pad, 18” x 24”; compressed charcoal pencils; grease pencil. Other materials are possible with instructor consultation.
