Overview

The Advanced Drawing Program is a three-week program for students with previous drawing experience and established skills. The program focuses exclusively on drawing.

The session will begin with a review of basic drawing foundations and techniques and will move on to advanced topics such as approaches to drawing from life and methods of abstraction in drawing. Students will explore composition, process, materials, and the elements of drawing and contemporary design. Instruction in figure drawing will emphasize the structure and function of human anatomy, as well as emotional and psychological approaches to depicting the human form. Participation in the weekly Open Figure Drawing Studio is encouraged.

PLEASE NOTE: Advanced Drawing Program students may not select additional electives.
