Building upon the skills taught in the Portrait Block-in class, students will be guided to analyze, understand, and achieve a sense of form through studying master portrait drawings. During the eight weeks, we will dissect three master drawings moving from their block-in to their conceptualized rendered scheme, defining what is shadow, what is light, and how volumes can be perceived through a concept of value management. Classes will feature demos and critiques. Students will be encouraged to work on drawings alongside the instructor and continue to render the drawings outside of class. It is highly recommended & preferred that students attend live to gain the benefit of the dialogue with the instructor about their work.
