Course: The Figure in Space and Motion (Luci Eyers)

About

This series of 5 figure drawing sessions will focus on the figure within our surrounding space, considering how we relate to the built environment around us, and to capturing movement. This is a more active form of life drawing and one that is more connected to contemporary life. We will explore drawing the figure in different contexts, in varying everyday poses, building up from drawing movement in slow motion to capturing it at speed. When we can draw from people around us, at home or in the park or a cafe, we have endless potential for figure drawing.

Throughout the course, we will draw from a contemporary dancer, Isabelle Roche, who is an active participant and a drawer. We will also draw ourselves, each other, and draw on location in Exmouth Market. Starting with figure drawing in the studio we incrementally develop confidence and familiarity with drawing people in the world around us. The course is suitable for anyone who wants to draw figures - including architects, illustrators, designers and artists.
