12-WEEK WORKSHOP

The Body in Question: Drawing and Painting
Patrick Carter
Saturdays 1–4 pm
12 weeks (September 13–December 6)
DRW 4094-N1 Non-credit / Tuition: $530

The human body has been an infinite source of inspiration and a subject that has been expressed in innumerable styles and media. In this workshop, we will attempt to gain new insight into the human form by exploring traditional, expressive, and experimental approaches to drawing and painting the body. The workshop will be built around individual concerns, issues, and personal sensibilities with the nude model as a foundation and point of departure. Throughout the workshop we will refer to a varied group of artists such as Francis Bacon, William Beckman, Richard Diebenkorn, Lucian Freud, Alberto Giacometti, Henri Matisse, Nathan Oliveira, and other contemporary artists who have found new inspiration in this timeless subject. Bring materials of your choice (charcoal, water-based paint, oils, etc.) and be prepared to work at the first meeting.
