Each student produces sketchbook drawings that reflect artistic investigations that reflect the human form. In making these drawings, each student first determines whether to follow or break with traditional ways in which to represent the human form. Then, students draw the human form from life in various directed and timed action poses, gestures, sizes and shapes, and manipulate scale and size to give the illusion of space. The final challenge is to create a resolved drawing that explores an idea using the human form in an expressive composition. The product is self-evaluated by students and displayed to the community.
