Examples of the assignments in my Life Drawing classes at Santa Monica College.
Create an image in which a profile is prominently featured. The title of the assignment is just another way of pushing people toward thinking like an artist, and encouraging them to produce something more than a simple anatomical exercise. |
Create a drawing in which the prominent figure is straining against a difficult weight, or pulling against unyielding restraint. |
This assignment requires that you display an understanding of foreshortening. The subject of the composition is left up to the artist. |
This is the final assignment in which you must produce a composition with at least five figures. There are no other restrictions. |
