Learn the foundations of figure drawing: techniques for bringing the human form to life on paper. Artist and teacher breaks down a classical approach to figure drawing into simple steps: capturing gesture and motion, mapping out structure and form, understanding the common "landmarks" of the body, drawing proportionally, and adding volume with shapes and shadows. Filmed on premise in a professional art studio, this course shows how to work with live models and different drawing materials. It's ideal for beginners who are just learning to draw the human figure as well as experienced artists who want to brush up their drawing skills. Sample poses in the exercise files to practice figure drawing in your own time[Prerequisite: MCT 113].

In this course, we provide to students' basic ideas about calligraphy. This sounds like an enclosed idea of a typography course. Because of the course in order to calligraphy course, the idea of typography needs to be clear. If this is the case that a student wants to do calligraphy without any sense of typography, then his or her calligraphy may be completed but some kind of imperfection will be exposed. Along with that, he needs to have some ideas on another topic, about design.
