Attendees will learn the basics of human head anatomy and sighting and measuring technique through a series of simple and quick drawing exercises. These concepts will be combined to generate a long-term drawing while observing the model in-studio using either graphite or charcoal. The day will culminate with a brief group critique of the work created throughout the workshop.

No drawing experience is required; this workshop is perfect for beginning artists and will also be beneficial for those who work at an intermediate level.

All necessary supplies will be provided by Foundation Art Academy. Students may bring their own supplies if they wish, but this is not necessary.
