The course should be focused essentially on three themes:

A  Observe closely: What I see , I can represent. The student should acquire the ability to draw after tridimensional pattern and models. Preponderant will be the nude-painting. The human body is the most perfect and ideal “object” to learn precise watching, observing and drawing.

B  Sketching, drawings as a communication tool : from the idea to the drawing. Sketching means for me a reflecting or contemplating drawing , a search-movement. An idea, mostly blurry in our imagination, something we only could guess, will be brought to paper and turn visible. Between the impalpable imagination and the sketch stays the drawing process, that gives a chance to the idea.

C  The sketchbook : a diary of drawings and notes. The drawings opens new (thinking-) rooms, exteriors and interiors. It’s a conscious involvement with the world around us. A sketchbook is the best tool for it. Themes: drawing tools, drawing technics, pictorial design, perspective, rooms, landscapes, nature, architecture, city, people, animals.
