This course is a continuation study in rendering forms as a visual language, emphasizing the definition of the human form concerning the pictorial space exploring various media. It explores a variety of movements in nude and draped figures, immobile objects. Exercises in quick sketches are aimed at honing drawing skills acquired during the duration of the course. Independent projects that explore personal initiatives towards the mastery of form and their historical antecedents, which culminate in a term paper, are integral to the study.
