Online Class: Beginning Figure Drawing with Charles Hu Spring 2018

Charles Hu is a figure painter and notable art instructor, and has been an anatomy and figure drawing instructor in Los Angeles for over a decade. In this class, you will learn how to see and interpret visual information as it relates to the human form.

This class will emphasize the development of perceptual skills through drawing the human figure from direct observation. Drawing the figure is one of the fastest and most rewarding ways to acquire the foundational skills needed for all aspects of artistic communication.

The following topics, methods, strategies and subjects will be covered: gesture, shape, structure, movement, weight, volume, space and expression through line, mark, and value.

You will benefit from Charles’ generous teaching style as he provides informative lectures and beautiful demonstrations.

You will receive online access to the recording of the lecture portion for 12 months. This is helpful to reinforce the principles of each week, and to catch any concepts you may have missed the first time around.

NOTE: Students will have access to all the class recordings for 12 months and may download all reference images to keep. But since this class is recorded, students will not be able to submit work for critique from the instructor.
