Life Drawing

This week we're drawing people. We started out with 30 second gesture drawings using photos and images from the web, and then moved on to some volunteer models who came in and posed for us. It's hard drawing people, and even harder when they're in dynamic/just plain weird positions. Harder still is doing all this with a time limit! Honestly, even though I'm teaching this week, I am painstakingly slow when it comes to drawing. It's been a good stretch for all of us, I think!

Life drawing is also called "Figure Drawing," but in this case it's aptly named because the purpose of our curriculum is to draw from the life that is found only in our risen Savior, and also to draw things that may serve to help bring people to life spiritually with this same vitality. Cheesy but true...
