Session 2 | Pre-College: Figure Anatomy: Grades 9-12

This pre-college figure anatomy course is designed for students in grades 9–12 who want to build strong foundational skills in depicting the human figure. Through structured studio projects and guided exercises, students develop essential anatomical understanding used to draw and construct the figure in academic and professional art settings. Working from a combination of reference photos, anatomical resources, and live models, instruction emphasizes gesture, proportion, and structural form. Through focused exercises and longer studies, students strengthen visual accuracy, technical confidence, and artistic decision-making, learning to insightfully construct the figure rather than simply copy what they see. By the end of the course, students will have produced a small, cohesive body of figure studies and gained skills that prepare them for portfolio reviews, advanced art classes, and future study in the visual arts.

This is a credit-bearing class and grades will be given. Please check the supply list tab for materials needed to complete this class.
