This course focuses on observation, so that students learn to situate a shape among others, simplify it in order to read and memorize it, and finally reproduce it by moving from three to two dimensions. Corrections are made according to each student’s level, whether they are beginners or already experienced. Naturally, issues such as proportions, foreshortening, the rendering of light and space, and artistic concerns are addressed through the specificities of each technique freely chosen by the student, with reference to works from the past as well as those of today. Alternating between short and long poses allows for a deeper mastery of the gesture. The long poses (several hours) allow for an analytical study of forms, more elaborate work, and raise the question of composition. With the short poses (a few minutes or even a few seconds), a more intuitive realization is worked on.

Materials to be provided by the student (list provided upon registration).

The course is taught in French.
