This course is for people who are beginners and do not have previous experience of life drawing and would like to learn new skills and techniques in observational drawing from life.
You will receive an induction to our well-resourced Art Department, supportive tutoring, new knowledge and skills in drawing, and opportunities to develop your creativity.
This course will give you the opportunity to learn the principles of drawing the human form and will lead to the development of a portfolio of work.
Throughout the course you will learn a variety of techniques and processes in life drawing; focusing on proportion and composition, applying both technical and expressive approaches and developing your skills in drawing the naked human form from life.
You will work with a range of dry drawing media, such as pencil, pen, charcoal, chalks and pastels developing techniques of line, tone and limited colour palettes.
