Course detail
Basics of Study Drawing
FaVU-1ZSKAcad. year: 2022/2023
The course is designed as a cycle of consecutive practical drawing exercises. During the lessons, students will get acquainted in gradual steps with the method of displaying simple geometric objects, either arranged separately or later composed into still lifes. Students will be explained the distance from the object and the image area, perspective, methods of measuring objects, lighting principles and light interaction, composing into the image area, etc.
After mastering the drawing of simple square and cylindrical objects, the course will follow up with drawing according to plaster casts of heads and limbs. These more demanding exercises are a direct precursor to drawing according to living models.
