ANFIG163 Figure Drawing 3
For english speaking exchange students: Admission for exchange students is based exclusively on portfolio assessment. All exchange students must submit a link to their online portfolio, together with the application documents. Students who have equivalent knowledge from other universities, colleges or private school drawing courses can apply directly on this course (with skipping ANFIG161 and ANFIG162).
The aim of figure drawing is to train the student in observation and drawing skills. This will provide tools and a foundation for solving technical animation challenges throughout the bachelor's program. The course is intended for students who have already learned the basic principles of figure drawing. The student will gain expanded knowledge of proportions, anatomy, movement, and composition, and learn to engage with more complex forms. The student will also learn to recognize proportional relationships within a limited timeframe and, more generally, gain a deeper understanding of the possibilities of drawing as an artistic expression. The main objective of the course is for students to maintain and further develop the skills acquired in Figure Drawing 1 and 2. The course consists of lectures and practical exercises with guidance.
In accordance with the national qualification framework, the student will have achieved the following learning outcomes after completing the course:
Students will
- have advanced knowledge of modelling, movement, balance, weight and composition in drawing
- have a good understanding of how anatomy visually influences body and information seen on the surface
- understand that drawing can be informative and objective as well as more subjective and illustrative
The student will be able to
- capture an idea and visualize solutions
- draw with a personal style
- make use of perspective drawing
- develop the ability to handle light and shadow in drawing
- engage in independent problem-solving
- have an analytical approach to their drawings
The student will
- have gained more experience in independent work with creative processes and aesthetics
- have well-developed drawing skills that will assist in animation studies and other artistic education and careers
The course consists of practical exercises where the student draws from a life model, along with theoretical instruction. The subject teacher guides the student's work on the practical assignments. Lectures will be held in Norwegian and in English for international students.
At the end of the semester, the student, together with the supervisor, will select 5 major drawing assignments to be submitted for the portfolio exam.
