#109 – Figure Quick Sketch with Kirk Shinmoto Wed. 7pm-10pm
The main objective of this class will be to develop a “visual vocabulary” that will allow one to quickly analyze, interpret, and depict the human form. Emphasis will also be placed on capturing the “life” and individuality of the subject. Students will develop an overall “process” for quickly analyzing and breaking down the complex forms of the body, gain a sensitivity to movement and rhythms found throughout the body, understand the major forms of the body and how they work together as whole, and to build a “visual vocabulary” used to rapidly and efficiently develop ideas. $420
