Description:

Prerequisite(s): ART 101 This course introduces students to the challenges of drawing the human form for animation. Students will examine the goals of life drawing for animation, and the instructor will demonstrate methods for attaining these goals.

The course will emphasize capturing skeletal structure, muscle form, emotion, and gesture. Using clothed and nude models of both genders, students will learn to apply lessons in anatomy to the figure and will significantly expand their understanding of human kinetics and structure. Finally, they will practice extrapolating basic human life drawing strategies to other animals.
