How can you teach life drawing through zoom ? This was the challenge we were faced with as lockdown continued.
Starting with drawing portraits, hands and feet, the projects evolved into concepts that took us under the skin and into our interior worlds.
The nature of life drawing means the artist is responding to the exterior human body which is a complex and unique form, grappling with foreshortening, proportion, gaining a likeness of the model. We could, however, be guilty of side stepping the many internal layers that make us “human”.
As the zoom projects developed we began to delve into our inner sanctums, who are we? Projects such as “Conversation” explored the many ways we communicate, body language, voice, text, the written word, and alternatively what happens if this is removed. "Caught in a cobweb” investigates internal feelings, perhaps of anxiety, being trapped.
Each week the projects challenged and encouraged thought provoking discussion, questioning how we perceive ourselves. Concept life drawing is an exploration of our human condition. These pages hold a unique and personal response from each student, ranging from the humorous to the dark voids within us , the beautiful and the deeply moving.

Paul’s classes have made me dig deep, sometimes uncomfortably so, and often with surprising results. The accountability of submitting work each week and reviewing it alongside everyone else’s pieces has been challenging but really enjoyable and I’ve loved seeing everyone’s personal interpretation of the brief. Thank you Paul!
