Human Anatomy with Sculpture & Drawing
Fridays 8:30 – 10:30 AM
In this course, students will discover the complex forms of the human body as they learn to sculpt and draw the bones and muscles. Students will spend the first semester learning to build an armature (the metal structure which holds the clay sculpture) and will sculpt the entire human skeleton. During the second semester, students will then sculpt all the muscles on top of the skeleton, learning the form and function of each muscle and its attachment points to the bones. Each class there will be a focused topic (like the skull for example), there will be a lecture presentation, Chapman will then lead the students in drawing the subject, and then sculpting the subject on their scorche sculpture. Each week there will be reading and drawing homework.
$30 materials fee for armature materials.
Students must purchase oil-based clay, a high-quality drawing sketchbook, and a few clay modeling tools. (Chapman will recommend his favorite tools to work with on the first day of class.)

Drawing - Fundamentals
Fridays 10:30 AM – 12:30 PM
In this course, students will begin learning the fundamentals of drawing—focusing on values, shading, 2-D shape, 3-D form, perspective, learning to observe and create form life, and more. The course will then go into more complex aspects of drawing such as creating from imagination, composition, and story-telling. Some project subjects will include still-life, portrait, landscape, and animals.
This course is a recommended prerequisite for Oil Painting, or to be taken simultaneously with Oil Painting.
Oil Painting
Fridays 1:00 – 3:00 PM
Learn the step-by-step process of creating oil paintings that masters have used for centuries. Students will first be taught the fundamentals of oil painting and also dive into learning the basics of color theory, perspective, composition, value, and the variety of brush strokes. Throughout the year, students will learn from Old Master artworks, draw and paint from still lifes, study trees in nature, work on personal projects, and more. This is a really informative and fun art class for beginners and advanced artists alike.
Note: easel, and brush cleaner will be provided in class. The rest of the art supplies must be purchased by the student. A materials list will be handed out on the first class.
