Aims
The aim of the course is to enable students to gain sovereignty in mastering proportion, anatomy, etc., and thus to open up space for the entry of "expression" - a subjective but extraordinary moment through which the work can be viewed.
Students confidently manage the study drawing with expressive overlaps. Conscious manipulation of proportions to enhance expressive effect.
