Synopsis: An intense investigation of the skills required for drawing the human figure with competence. Studio classes using life models develop skills in observing inner structure, gesture, spatial organisation and characterisation. Technical studies of representational devices, mark selection, emphasis, and lighting promote a broader understanding of the uses of figure representation in a variety of art practices.
