DRAWING FOR ANIMATION-II
Students will demonstrate knowledge of the bone structure of the human skeleton and the body’s muscle structure. Students will be able to draw the human figure accurately displaying normative proportional relationships of the body’s parts to the whole. Students will depict the figure in a variety of poses using foreshortening; Students will convey gesture, the illusion of expressive movement, when drawing the figure spontaneously in very brief periods of time.
