How to Draw Like a Madman

How to Draw Like a Madman

How to Draw Like a Madman is a course where students will learn about, examine, and draw from the power of genius.  If you are looking for a spark of genius – or I dare say madness – in your drawing, you’ve come to the right place. This course blends biography and practice of three of the most gifted and imaginative draftsmen in art history.  

Students will explore Gericault's incredible talent for rapidly capturing details, the oddities of Bosch's fiery imagination, and Goya's visual banquet of ghouls and ghastly sights.  Each of these artists offer a tantalizing visual feast of immense skill, with a side of madness.
