Emphasis on Construction

	The type and progression of the drawing exercises follow the logic of sculptural assignments. This three-level course emphasizes the constructive method of drawing, referred to as "architectonic" by the great French sculptor Bourdelle. Students will be encouraged to think about the structure of the object rather than purely copy light and shade silhouettes. Therefore, they may be asked to draw the same object from several different views, turned upside or on its side, in larger than life-size scale and even from memory.

Level 1 Typical drawing assignments may include: still life with organic and man-made objects architectural detail such as an antique frieze or capital Michelangelo's anatomical parts such as the ear, eye, nose and mouth a human skull from three different views a variety of casts including portrait busts portrait from life from three different views
