 Students return to the use of the photograph as source material.  Some may have thought that using a photograph was not valid however it allows for a processed two dimensional source to be observed, analyzed and replicated using drawing media.
 Our primitive ancestors used burnt wooden sticks and reflections on water or ice to create the first "selfies".  Now we use mirrors and compressed charcoal.
 In learning about drawing the human figure we spend time studying the amazing potential of our skeleton as a dynamic source.  Internal then on to the external.
 My goal is to teach in a workshop setting that is free of stress yet compelling with rigor and sources. We survey a wide range of techniques.
