Learning outcomes

Upon completion of the course, the student will be able to:

• Demonstrate good understanding of drawing by being able to analyse the human form and express the human form in motion, even without a reference.
• Demonstrate deeper understanding of form and be able to think sculpturally.
• Express the human character with dynamics and balance as well as displaying a good understanding of the structure of the body and anatomy without a model reference.

Content

The course gives the student a good understanding of expression of the human form. By intense studying of models but also by theoretical lectures the student is taught how to express a human from an analytical perspective. The student is given a basic understanding in drawing with the focus on movement, dynamics, form, volume and perspective as well as deeper understanding of anatomy with focus on rhythm, balance and structure of the skeleton and the muscles. In addition, theoretical lectures will give a deeper understanding and tools for further studies. The course will cover different techniques including how to apply value, light, and shadow to create atmosphere.

The course will also include a sculpturing workshop where the students gets to transfer their construction knowledge into clay.
