Program

Over the course of 10 sessions, participants will create works using diverse media including pencil, charcoal, pastel, and oil paint.

Students will gain inspiration and learn to translate various angles and postures into aesthetic expressions. Key learning outcomes include:

• Mastering male and female body proportions and structures.
• Using lines, shapes, colors, and textures to convey emotion.
• Exploring both objective and exaggerated color applications.
• Capturing the rhythm and cadence in figure painting.
• Enhancing observational skills for complex body angles.
