Prompt: I have added in class model drawings focusing on light and shadow and my midterm, which was to draw fully colored fashion figures.

I’ve attached a couple of my in class model drawing, we focused on varying poses, as well as light and shadow, experimenting with tan paper, graphite, and highlighting using color pencil. The figure on the skateboard was a photograph exploration of light and shadow. The color piece featuring two figures is an exploration of fashion figures for a midterm assignment. I chose to explore the fashion figure, and juxtapose it with traditional fantasy figures, as both figures are unrealistic depictions of the female form which used frequently in illustrated media.

Parsons School of Design has offered students innovative approaches to education since its founding in 1896. Today we’re the only American art and design school within a comprehensive university, The New School, which also houses a rigorous liberal arts college and a progressive performing arts school. Our undergraduate and graduate programs, offered through Parsons’ five schools, immerse students in focused training, interdisciplinary inquiry, and practice-based collaborative learning. Here creators and scholars master established art and design fields and advance emerging ones while studying a range of university disciplines.
