LIFE DRAWING with Chuck Gilliam
“Draw Antonio, draw Antonio, draw and don’t waste time.” These were the words Michelangelo said to one of his students. He believed that drawing — and drawing repeatedly — was the way forward in one’s art practice. First attempts and ideas, hand-eye exercises, brainstorming, exploring, planning and mapping — drawing can be there for a learning artist through it all. It certainly was for Michelangelo in his own work.
Drawing was his touchstone for everything from sparks of inspiration to layout and composition to preparatory sketches for the walls of the Sistine Chapel. When we look at the myriad of famous finished artworks and sculptures he created, we often forget that.
And so we offer a life drawing class so that you can come to an understanding of how you can draw the human figure. We will begin with recognizing the various components that make up the human figure. From there we will build on this basic structure and learn to draw the human figure in any pose we want. We will continue this process and learn how to clothe the figure. The class will focus on all of this the first day. On the second day, we will have live models posing in various positions and in various costumes to allow the artists to develop their skills in drawing the human figure.
You will need a sketchbook or paper and various drawing instruments such as pencils and erasers. You may also bring colored pencils and/or colored pastels if you wish, especially on the second day.
We look forward to your attending this exciting class. The class will be $30 at the door for the two days but if you preregister on our website you can sign up for only $25: americanforkarts.com/life-drawing-2018/
