Drawing the Figure: The Body in Motion


  • Art League School Madiosn Annex 305 Madison Street Alexandria, VA, 22314 United States (map)

Taught in person at the Art League School in historic Old Town Alexandria, VA. Join me for a weekend of drawing the human figure.

Our aim in this figurative drawing workshop is to understand how the movement of the body affects the pose and to practice seeing, understanding, and rendering human form more expressively. With a live model, participants explore the movement and motion of the body in order to develop their conceptual and observational understanding of form, structure, and morphology. Which muscles do you need to be aware of in order to render dynamic movement? How is the body rotating, extending, and flexing and how does this translate into better and more life-like Drawings?

Do you want to make a pose seem more alive? To express dynamic movement? To practice drawing the human figure? This workshop is for you!
