DESCRIPTION:Saturdays\, 9 AM – 12 PM \nSession #2:\nMar 29th\, April 5th\, 12th \nOpen to artists of all drawing levels\, this class offers a welcoming\, light-hearted\, yet academic approach to decoding the human figure.

Anatomy of the skeletal and muscular systems will be observed to aid in rendering the model’s shapes and emotive expression. Using different drawing implements\, successful erasing\, and achieving balanced compositions on paper will be addressed. In reference to historical and master drawings\, we will discuss accurate measurement for proportions\, perspective\, framing\, and positioning as integral parts of understanding how to capture fleeting moments in space while developing your style quickly. The instructor will provide individual guidance or feedback\, and at the end of each session\, the participants will show their drawings for constructive feedback in a group setting. \nStudents provide: \nLarge drawing board\nPad of 18”x24” Newsprint Paper\nPad of 18”x24” Drawing Paper\nVine Charcoal\nDrawing pencils (HB\, 2B\, 6B\, F)\nRubber kneaded eraser\nRubber eraser\nBlending stump\nRetractable eraser*\nChamois cloth*\n*Optional \nAbout the Instructor: \nIngrid Marie Harbour is an interdisciplinary artist who enjoys experimenting with different mediums\, including drawing\, painting\, and printmaking.
