On Tuesday students focused on fitting the figure into a given size on the page before introducing the Figure in Perspective Space concept and process. Thursday student continued with Figure Space but introduced sitting poses into the mix. A seated (stool or chair) figure should be 3/4 the full standing figure height, and a floor seated figure is just above 1/2 full height. Next week we will include adding a background to the figure compositions.
