Figure Drawing - ‘Drawing is the probity of art.” -Ingres The human figure has been a primary subject of western art for generations, and one of the most immediate and intuitive methods of investigating this subject has been drawing. The primary focus of this class will be drawing from a live model. Class sessions will consist of lectures and demonstrations, followed by one-on-one critiques while students work on their own. The topics covered will include anatomy, perspective, planes of the body, as well as concepts regarding light, shadow and form. The course will begin with shorter format poses, focusing on a linear expression of proportion and movement. More advanced concepts will be introduced as poses lengthen, and students work toward a more sustained drawing incorporating tonality and form. Tutor David Baird trained with Anthony Ryder at the Ryder Studio School in Santa Fe, New Mexico, as well as studied with some of America’s leading representational artists. He has also participated in painting programs overseas, including two years in the JSS Master Class program in Civita, Italy, conducted by Israel Hershberg. He has taught in both the US and Europe, and has just recently returned from Jerusalem, Israel, where he painted extensively with the Master Class program.
