Drawing is a prerequisite and the foundation for examining formal, thematic, compositional and design-related issues in art. The seminar aims to develop basic knowledge and skills that will help students create drawings that are more conscious, competent and expressive. Areas such as format, framing, depth, structure, space and subject matter are consistently incorporated into the work. It is not just classical techniques that are explored. The creative scope of the seminar encompasses a wide variety of methods, techniques and materials.
Nude and portrait drawing refers to the artistic representation of the naked human body. Crucial to its success is correctly capturing the proportions of the body or head and clearly bringing out the plasticity of the individual body and head forms from different perspectives.
Such a seminar is also an important prerequisite for artistic practice, serving to heighten perceptual awareness and clarify concepts.
