The Figure Intensive may be taken as a joint package of the two classes at discount rate, or individually, at our regular pricing.
Zeller teaches a system of figure drawing and painting that emphasizes form, structure and anatomy. His classes begin with a lecture on a specific part of human anatomy, followed by a few short poses that emphasize the anatomy lesson, followed by one long pose for the rest of the class. The long pose is the same for the entire session, and sometimes much longer.
We begin by learning to convert the great masses of the body into specific shapes, using both linear contour and structural building blocks. Different types of classical proportions will be discussed, as well as different methods of measuring in a perceptual manner. One of the main goals of this course is to teach the artist to see the body as having architectural structure, and understanding how to translate that concept into 2 dimensional form.
Following in the footsteps of some of the most effective atelier instructors, Rob Zeller works alongside his students. He not only offers serious and thorough instruction, he draws and paints from the live model with his students, to better demonstrate the techniques he is encouraging them to use.
For the first day of class, only bring the drawing supplies.
DRAWING SUPPLIES

Some H pencils
Some HB pencils
Several F pencils
Several Kneaded erasers, any size
Exacto knife or razor blades (loose blades work well)

Paper
For the first few lessons, please bring medium grade paper. Nothing heavier than
80-90 lbs. The drawings, at least at first, will not be "precious". After that, we will get into more serious paper. I will cover this in class later.
