Continuing Education

133/141 West 21st Street

This course takes a radical approach to drawing the body through a variety of experimental techniques, including diagrams, stencil typography with the figure, and graphic stylizations that meld traditional figure and portraiture studies with scientific notions-from Leonardo da Vinci to chaos theory. We will also experiment with sound/music and drawing, automatic writing from the surrealists to Kandinsky from the cubists to the tango and jazz to the abstract expressionists and Hip Hop to graffiti. Materials and techniques include collage (digital and traditional materials), pen-and-ink, oil stick and graphite, spray paint and permanent markers. This course is ideal for students who wish to combine traditional drawing skills with contemporary ideas of the drawing medium, and is open to students at all levels.
NOTE: This course is held on campus at SVA.
