Course Description: This class will introduce students to the basics of drawing costume and drapery. Heavy emphasis will be placed on understanding not just the structure, but the also the mechanics of folds. We will start studying the basic gesture and forms of the nude figure as a basis for building the clothing around it. This class will give students a better sense of how to design and simplify drapery when drawing from life, reference, or imagination.

Course Level: Recommended for beginning-intermediate Students. Figure/life drawing experience is recommended but not required

Class Format: This course will run for 10 weeks and will be taught through a combination of pre-recorded lectures and live critiques through Discord.  Each week students will be given access to class lectures and we will then have a live, group critique session the following week to go over homework. All lectures and critique recordings will be made available for students to download and review. Class will be limited to 10 students.
