Welcome
The coordination of hand, eye, and mind is the keystone to a working center which will issue a fountain of growth generally described as art. Dexterity with tools and a knowledge of historical precedients (ways other artists have succeeded) form an exchange between the scientific testing method, theory, and synthesis of esthetics into the work of art. Many artists believe this starts with drawing. Drawing is a form of visual expression and is one of the major forms within the visual arts. A quick, unrefined drawing may be defined as a sketch. |

Figure Drawing | |
|
A figure drawing is a study of the human form in its various shapes and body postures - sitting, standing or sleeping. It is a study or stylized depiction of the human form, with the line and form of the human figure as the primary objective, rather than the subject person. It is a composed image of the subject in a stationary position. A life drawing is a work that has been drawn from an observation of a live model.
Artist: Glen River Drawing from a life class. 1975 Philip Morsberger, Ruskin Master of Drawing, requested a drawing faithful to the model. River's drawings and sketch books are available to registered students. A great many drawings have been lost. Travel, lost luggage, fire, and flood make for great gaps where I would have preferred a record of the process. So keep your journals, sketch books, and loose pages safe. Your students and followers will find value in them. |
