Class #145: Anatomy of the Human Body with Dr. Said Bouftass
Session | Available
We will start the year 2025 in style, by studying the head (portrait), the neck and the torso. Very important parts of the body in the representation of the human body. See you soon then. We will discuss their form and function from the theoretical perspective of phenomorphology of the human body. Join us for this wonderful human drawing adventure at the start of 2025.
- The class will meet in our coach house studio (rear building).
There will be a shared model fee for two of the sessions.
It's very important to have a notebook/sketchbook (9x12) for copying sketches and écorchés, a kneaded eraser as well as colored pencils in black, blue, green, red and orange. Keep the same notebook/sketchbook throughout the course.
