The Lower Body in Depth

After this class you will be able to draw the lower body with a deeper understanding of how these parts of the body can be depicted in foreshortened perspective and how their construction allows for figures to exist in the pictorial plane. A special emphasis will be placed on sitting, kneeling, standing and laying and how they relate to the ground plane.

Instruction topics: A lecture on the legs and feet and how they interact with the pictorial plane. Visual materials will include diagrams of the anatomy of the thigh, knee, calf/shin, ankle, foot and toes. Demo will include simplified methods and practices for depicting the legs and feet in various poses and positions with respect to the ground plane with an emphasis on depicting the legs with foreshortening(linear perspective drawing.)

NOTE: this is a class in a series of four classes. You do not need to have attended the previous class in order to take this class.
