Drawing: The Extended Portrait (In-Person)

with Phyllis Laver

$515

Tuesdays, 12:30 - 3:30 p.m.
Instructor: Phyllis Laver 
Ten-Week Course (30 Hours)
Credit: Non-Credit or 1.0 Undergraduate Credit (See Below)

The portrait can encompass not only head and shoulders, but half- and full-body poses, as a depiction of the likeness, mood, or character of the individual subject.  Drawing from the portrait and life model is not only a fascinating study of one’s subject, but it is furthermore one of the most time-honored methods of art training at PAFA. Improve your observation-based drawing skills as you work in charcoal and graphite directly from models in short and long poses, exploring gesture, proportions, anatomy and expression. All levels welcome.  Please note that this portrait class includes the use of nude models. Tuition includes $65 models fee.  

Optional: This course is available for 1.0 undergraduate credit for $660 (including models fee). Select credit option with price adjustment when registering.
