The Center For Contemporary Art

Students will learn how to create a strong likeness through careful observation. This course covers the structure of the human head, proportion, facial features, and rendering form. Emphasis is placed on expressive line quality and understanding the figure in terms of volume and three dimensional form.

Students will explore a variety of dry media, including graphite, vine charcoal, and conté crayon. Demonstrations will be provided throughout the course to guide and support your work.

This class will take place online via Zoom. A link to access the class will be included in your registration receipt.
