    Description
    This intermediate level figure drawing course focuses on how to capture the essential movement, dynamic expression, and individual attitude of a human body through traditional drawing media. The course provides a deeper understanding of life drawing, building on skills learned in the prerequisite beginning course that serves as a foundation for further studies in animation and entertainment arts. In the course, students study human anatomy in greater detail while learning to draw the figure in sequential movement, and learn about weight and balance, facial and body expression, and figure invention. This course may be taken by art majors wishing to further life drawing skills and is recommended for all animation art majors.
