Fascinatingly, our contemporary online devices, screens and cameras, echo a way of working that can lead back to renaissance times and artists inventions that required single-eyed vision of the spatial three-dimensional world, observed and viewed through flat glass planes and perspective frames. These devices can create extreme and exaggerated foreshortening when wished for, unrivalled in any studio. During this course we will be working from a model throughout the day, using a variety of both short and long poses. Each week we will explore images and concepts from drawings, paintings and sculpture of the human form; from the very earliest known to us, to the global contemporary, in order to help engage and inform our study of the formal aspects of drawing. Morning slide presentations and talks will be given to start each session, whilst a combination of seminars and critiques will bring them to a close. One-to-one tuition will be given throughout the day. All levels welcome including beginners
