Akt und Naturstudien

Judith P Fischer
Institute of Art and Technology, Life Drawing
2026W, Lecture with Practical Exercises (VU), 2.0 ECTS, 2.0 semester hours, course number S02687

Description

In the course "Nude and Nature Studies," you will explore the relationship between the figure (the nude) and the object and the space (life drawing studio). By examining human proportions, posture, movement, gestures, and facial expressions, whether in simplified or detailed ways, you will not only refine your own perception but also develop your personal artistic expression.

The course also offers ample opportunity for freehand drawing on a large scale and experimentation. Individual feedback on your work, along with image analysis, will support your personal artistic development!

Please bring your own art supplies!

Examination Modalities

20 sheets, minimum size: DIN A3 (42 x 29.7 cm) or larger. Each sheet must be labeled with first name, last name, student ID number, and date of creation (on the back).

The exam dates will be announced in due course.

Exam dates (SS 2026) can be arranged by email: judith-p.fischer@uni-ak.ac.at
