In this intensive course we will understand the fundamental elements of post-figurative drawing, how to design a figure in that genre, describe motion and learn to work from imagination. The course will focus on drawing people and their expression in the everyday context.
Week 1 -
Comparing figurative and post-figurative worlds, discussing the differences in expressive power and purpose, doing basics figures – standing and sitting.
Week 2 -
Drawing a sitting to standing transition, focusing on motion, expression, realistic elements, recognition of motion and expressive signature. Adding color as the extension of the linework.
Week 3 -
Drawing a running to falling transition, adding expressive maneuvres to the storyline, defining facial expression.
Week 4 -
