In this course, traditional limited palettes are explored as a means to achieve realism with the figure and still life. Students, using acrylics, apply basic colour theory, mixing and painting technique to describe figures and objects in light and shade, warm and cool light, and three dimensional space. Transparent painting media and the fundamentals of composition relating to figurative illustration are also introduced. Ongoing sketchbook assignments maintain a drawing routine outside the classroom. In addition, students attend a drawing workshop as a supplement to this course to further their understanding of anatomy.
Anti-requisite: Students who have taken ILLU 2B08 Illustrative Drawing may not take this course for further credit.
Notes: To meet the learning outcomes of this course, students are required to work from nude male and female figure models in the studio environment.
There is a drawing and painting workshop attached to this course.
