Drawing People is a half–unit course which introduces students to the basic skills needed to render realistically in pencil the human figure and face, full and in profile. Attention is paid to mastering the use of a pencil, proportion, shading, and perspective with the goal of helping students capture through drawing whatever it is that they find interesting about a person. The textbook for this subject contains sketches of unclothed figures to demonstrate techniques, but students are not required to sketch such figures as part of this course.
Students are supplied with the appropriate drawing pencils and paper to complete the sketches and drawings needed for completion of the subject. These sketches and drawings require students to devote time and effort to mastering the basic drawing skills.
There are 4 examinations in Art: Drawing People.
