Life Drawing and Illustration, a class aimed at students and community members interested in theater design and choreography, will be offered at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point this fall through Continuing Education.

The Art 398/Theatre 399 course will be held September 2 through December 12, meeting on Mondays and Wednesdays from 3-5 p.m. and Fridays from 3-4 p.m. The instructor will be UWSP Senior Lecturer Mark Brueggeman of the Department of Art and Design.

The course is designed to provide a more solid base in dealing with the figure with emphasis on anatomy and spatial relations within the figure and the surrounding spaces. Nude, draped and costumed models will be used. During the first half of the class work will be created from a live model and during the second half of the class illustration work will be done with an emphasis on narrative, informational and interpretive drawing using music, lyrics and emotional content.

Brueggeman holds degrees in painting, drawing and fiber arts. He co-operates a stained glass studio in Nelsonville.

The course has a $45 materials fee in addition to tuition/fees, and may be taken for three undergraduate credits or without credit. To register, go online to www.uwsp.edu/conted or call Continuing Education Customer Service at (715) 346-3838 or (800) 898-9472.
