Description of Workshop:
These consecutive courses taught by Michael Grimaldi will sequentially present fundamental and advanced concepts of visual perception and their application to composing drawings from direct observation. A thorough understanding of the visual experience and of the human figure is essential for anyone wishing to express and translate these elements to the picture plane. Separating the concepts, studying them independently, re-constructing and combining them with the other elements to create well unified and holistic drawings, will foster the student's ability to perceive the visual
experience with intelligence, apply this knowledge to their work, and cultivate a strategic approach towards working from life. Working a 7 day pose, students will explore the elements of proportion, gesture, perspective, likeness, movement,
constructive anatomy and morphology, light on form, value construction and composition through sustained investigations of the human figure.
