Figure Drawing:
The Expressive Line
In this Double course, Philadelphia based artist Arcenio Martin Campos will challenge you to push artistic boundaries with how to draw the human figure.
Working directly from observation or photo reference of the model and at a quick pace, you will understand how to use memory and speed to your artistic work.
There will be a before and after on how you apply the line and gesture to your drawing that will add up not only to your drawing but also to your use of any other medium.
Learning Outcomes
1. A rounded sense of the existence of a form made while on a substrate. The mystery of how to solve proportional problems will be clear.
2. A strong sense of the gesture which Martin considers the “lifeblood”and the “engine” behind the single figure entity. In the gestural mode, particular attention will be presented on the skeletal system and the strong role it plays in keying in on and creating the abbreviated gesture.
3. How one can do a strong rooted figure in 10 or less marks is always the challenge. Opening up and “emptying out your form” will be the task — and how to use the power of minimalism to spark memory in future work from a particular model.
4. How the form relates to surface tension and space. Certain aspects of the pose which puncture space and cause tension with its surroundings are explored.
