Intro to Figure Drawing Class by Charles Hu
  
Heavy emphasis on the gesture, rhythm, and construction of the human form. Poses range from 3 to 15 minutes. The class also focuses on
using the line weight to stress tension, stretch and pinch. Breaking down the body parts in 3D structure, showing students how to draw the parts in different views. The articulation of the body parts, key landmarks and connection will also be explained. Great for inventing figure out of your head. This class is not about copying, but about analyzing the figure, drawings that tell stories.

Beginning Figure Painting Class by Edgar Silva
  
This class will consist of a demonstration with a lecture covering the important elements in painting such as value, color temperature, edges, color theory as well as composition and design. This class takes students through a monochromatic, limited, and finally a full palette, allowing students to understand color on a gradient. Advanced Figure Painting Class by Edgar Silva
Advanced figure painting from live model, that focuses on value, color relationships, and how the function of light dictates the relationships we see. Most importantly, teaches you how to mentally organize and prioritize your problem solving and the working process. Work on personal projects or class assignments with a focus on learning how to develop finished work, using application concepts - dark to light - transparent to opaque - thin to thick - glazing vs. dry brushing - wet into wet vs. dry layering (stages). Students will have 8 hours to spend on each painting from life. The final two poses will be 12 hours each.
