Lessons in drawing people – action, the portrait or the figure
"What do the students learn?" "All the basics"
|
 |
Brief exercises (3-5 minutes) show how to capture pose, light, expression.
|
|
Team-building: Each person poses for the group, then chooses the next model. Participants view their colleagues in a new context, and "take home" a different way of seeing.
