Drawing the Human Figure: Under & Over – FINE ARTS WORK CENTER in Provincetown
Fine Arts Work Center In Provincetown

2023 Summer Workshops

Linda Bond Drawing the Human Figure: Under & Over June 23 to June 28, 2019 Tuition: $650 Workshop: 9am-12pm Discipline: Drawing OPEN TO ALL On-site Housing NOT Available - Off-site Housing Options

In this class we will explore the interaction of structure, design, motion and expression in the human form by observing the inner anatomy of the body, its outer appearance and the relationship of clothing and fabrics to the body’s form and movement. In addition to improving visual language skills, drawing the human figure from observation helps to nurture states of concentration and focus, giving us a “time out” from a more distracted daily life. Working from the model – nude and dressed – we will balance traditional representational techniques with expressive, personal approaches to drawing the figure using a variety of media.
