Course detail

Life Drawing 3

FaVU-VK2-ZAcad. year: 2023/2024

In this course, students who have already gained experience with life drawing can look for points of contact between the study of the human figure through drawings and the issues they address in their home studio. Students continue to practice their skills in figure drawing on a regular basis and are careful to maintain the quality of their drawing studies. The course takes into account the students' areas of study, to which the design of individual assignments within each lesson is tailored.
