WELCOME TO THE COURSE!  This class will introduce you to the art of figure drawing and all its necessary components, including compositional, expressive, and conceptual exploration.  In the process, I hope you will discover your personal artistic voice and will be inspired by an enriching dialog with fellow students. I look forward to a semester of learning, creativity, and art-making!
