Description
Using charcoal, graphite, pastel, ink and paint, the power of portraiture will be explored through achieving a likeness, effecting mood, and by exploiting the use of slides, multiples, photocopies, and the camera. Emphasis will be on composition, the use of value, and experimenting with scale. Students with an interest in portraiture and knowledgeable in other fields, such as painting, photography and printmaking, are encouraged to take this course.
