Grundlagen des Aktzeichnen

Institute of Art and Technology, Life Drawing
2026W, Lecture with Practical Exercises (VU), 2.0 ECTS, 2.0 semester hours, course number S02689

Description

The content of the course "Fundamentals of Nude Drawing" is the understanding of the human form, the proportions and anatomy of a person and their position in space. The course teaches the basic concepts of nude drawing. The study of the nature of drawing and the examination of the formal pictorial design elements form the basis for further artistic considerations. To describe the observed forms, you choose the technique yourself - this can be pencil, graphite, red chalk, charcoal, ballpoint pen, ink, felt-tip pen and colored pencil. In this way, you not only train your drawing skills, but also your personal perception.

Using individual feedback (during nude drawing), the resulting works are analyzed and  your development is promoted.

The work material must be brought along!

Examination Modalities

20 sheets, minimum size: DIN A3 (42 x 29.7cm) and larger, each sheet must be labeled with first name, surname, registration number and date of creation (back).

The exam dates will be announced in due course!
