Nude Drawing: Space-Body-Transformation

Elective module


Course

In fine art, a “nude” is the gestures, position, and movement of an observed naked body made into an “image.”

In nude drawing we study—through drawing—the interplay between body and space through the example of the human body, its proportions and weight when standing, sitting, lying, and in motion.

In this way we transform what we observe and ultimately our relationship with what we observe into line and gesture: and thereby into a drawing.

Our drawing research will be accompanied by the consideration of a selection of historical, modern, and contemporary representations of nudes and human figures in combination with architecture of the same period.
