COURSE DESCRIPTION: This class is for artists who have experience drawing the figure and are interested in portraiture, narrative, and in the draped figure. Do “clothes make the man”? We don’t know, but they definitely offer a great opportunity for storytelling in pictures. Whether it’s a quiet Degas moment where a dancer adjusts her strap or a dramatic challenge by an African warrior, costumes and props create compelling scenes. Also, learn about the seven types of folds and how drapery conceals or reveals the figure beneath.
