| About Life drawing.
Sometimes called figure drawing, life drawing is
the traditional discipline of drawing or painting the human figure
from the life pose of a nude model.
Life drawing has been an
integral part of formal art education for centuries. However in more
recent years it has largely been discarded from the curriculum of
most schools of fine art. Many art students are filling the gap by
joining classes such as the Catherine Mitchell Life Drawing Group. |
