Description

The content of the course "Fundamentals of Nude Drawing" focuses on observing and capturing the human figure, proportions, human anatomy and its location in space. The study of the nature of drawing, the examination of formal visual design elements such as page layout and spatial representation, but also the different properties of the respective drawing materials on the paper form the basis for further artistic considerations. To represent the observed forms, you choose the technique yourself - e.g. pencil, graphite, red chalk, charcoal, ballpoint pen, ink, felt-tip or colored pencil. In the course "Fundamentals of Nude Drawing" you not only train your drawing skills, but also your personal perception.

The resulting works are analyzed using feedback during drawing and your artistic development is promoted.

You must bring your work materials with you!
