Life Drawing
Trevor Flynn

First Year - Autumn 2009

Open Room 37.101
Tuesdays 1-4pm

 

The course is designed to build manual drawing skills and encourage groups to draw as a means of exploring formal ideas. We will shed restrictive drawing habits that condition our perception of form through “wrist-breaking” exercises. Participants are shown how to introduce reversibility into the drawing process thus allowing revision and change in drawings. This in turn leads to greater flexibility and suppleness. We will also build competence in handling several materials, explored as drawing implements in their own right to include: charcoal, conte crayon, graphite stick, tonal papers, soft pastels, coloured pencil.
