We’ll be drawing with clear-cut ideas of the active folds, observing and exploring how they work and participate in expressing action. We’ll address the confusions, cover the role of passive folds, wrinkles, design & shape, and costume as character.

Emphasis on:

• 8 Folds and Patterns
• Order from Chaos
• Shape/Volume – Action of the underlying form
• Shape/volume – Design
• Story and Character

We will cover:

• 2 things you must always ask
• The Gravity in the situation
• 3 simple things to keep in balance
• 6+2=8 Folds
• Folds vs. Wrinkles• Good folds• Useless folds
• The cut and type of fabric
• Mass, gravity, tension, direction
• Analysis, Concept, and Application
• Economy – Making Choices
• Costume as a garment
• Costume as Character
• Costume as its own independent statement
• Shape and Silhouette

The goal is to develop the ability to draw with skill and imagination. There will be lectures, demos, figure models streaming ‘live’, and personal attention.

All skill levels are welcome.
