Model Drawing

While studying the proportions of the human body, starting from the Egyptian sculptures and Polykleitos canon, drawing with a model is the most fun part. The high school pupils see how students of an Art Academy develop their skills in drawing and study how to represent the human body in drawing and painting, how to construct the movements in a few lines, indicating the correct proportions. In fact the aim of nature studies is, not to draw what you mean to see, but what you really see through observation. Very often both don’t have any relation: forms, colors, nuance and borderlines change completely from what we think they are.
