This course explores the various technical and conceptual aspects of drawing that are specific to portraying the human form. Students will work largely from the figure and examine their drawings within the context of other historical figurative work. Students will pay special attention to the drawings of the Cubists, De Kooning and Richard Diebenkorn. Students will mainly produce drawings, complete several readings and present the work of a contemporary artist working with the figure. While this class does not have a pre-requisite, it will demand that you work rigorously during class sessions and on out-of-class assignments.
