Description

From Michelangelo's robust figures to Marcel Duchamp's "Nude Descending Staircase," the human body has undergone many different forms of representation.

But what separates stick figures and mannequin-like drawings from figure drawings full of life? The gesture. The gesture of a figure captures not only the static pose, but also the being that is essential in human-being.

Math Monahan, a graduate student at the U-M Stamps School of Art & Design, will lead this workshop in an exploration of the human gesture. There will also be a clothed model present who will take several poses for you to practice drawing.
