Studio Art: Drawing the Human Figure

Instructor: Staff of the Charles H. Cecil Studios
Elective course, 4 credits

This course will teach a historic technique for drawing from a live model, from casts of famous statues and from the city itself. Live models will be used for full figure drawing and casts for portraiture.

Classroom instruction will take place in the Charles H. Cecil Studios, the most historic Florentine atelier still in active use. Students will also work with sketchbooks around Florence.
