In this 8-week course, students will focus on drawing the human form from direct observation of a live model. Working from the model and using a variety of exercises, students will develop new ways of seeing. They will experiment with various media including ink, charcoal, pastels, collage and oil wash. Intense periods of drawing will be followed by lively class critiques. This class is appropriate for students with some drawing experience who are interested in developing their understanding of the figure and drawing materials.

 

Martha Miller has been drawing the figure for over thirty years. She has work in numerous collections including the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, Calif.  Miller has a BFA in printmaking from Maine College of Art (MECA). Some of her work can be seen on her website www.marthamiller.com.
