Learn to draw the figure beginning with studies of the skeleton and continuing with rapid gesture drawings, contour studies, tonal exercises and more detailed drawings using charcoal, conte crayon, marker and oil throughout the course. Timed exercises with the help of Joyce's critique during class will assist the student in improving his/her skills regarding foreshortening, proportions, body alignment and expression in body movement.
