Introduction to Figure Drawing
Single Lecture DVD:
The purpose of this illustrated lecture is to provide art students with an overview of the drawing devices, conventions, and the systems employed by master artists to construct drawings of the human figure. To quote Edgar Degas: “A picture is something which requires as much knavery, trickery and deceit as the perpetration of a crime.” An artist does not draw what he sees, but what he must make others see: this course will provide discussion and analysis of master drawings, and explain why it is that a master draughtsman must never copy what he sees.
