of Ferris State University

HELLO
To get to where you are today, you’ve
had to grow. Learn. Adapt. But in the
rapidly shifting landscape of the modern
world, continuous evolution isn’t simply
encouraged; it’s demanded. And the key
to evolving your personal and profession
skill-sets lies in your creativity.
With ProFolio, Kendall College of Art and
Design of Ferris State University (KCAD)
taps into your natural urge to create
while broadening your perspective and
deepening your connection to the people
and places that surround you. Learn how
you can take inspiration from nature to
explore new ways of collaborating with
others and solving complex problems
in our Biomimicry and Design Thinking
course. Or, explore a new technology
or artistic process - from AutoCAD
and Adobe Creative Suite to figure
drawing and ceramics – to keep yourself
technically proficient, creatively flexible,
and endlessly curious.
Because the most important knowledge
isn’t what’s already inside you, but what’s
all around you waiting to be discovered.

FIGURE DRAWING &
SCULPTING INTENSIVE
Friday–Sunday, 10:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m.
This course is an introduction to and
continuation of the depiction of the human
form through observational drawing and
sculpting, emphasizing artistic anatomy as
it relates to the live model. In this course
you will employ gesture drawing, sighting for
accurate proportions of the figure, precise
linear construction, anatomy, physiognomy,
mechanics, and overall structure, to increase
knowledge and skill in drawing and sculpting
the human body in art. You will also explore the
differences in male and female proportional
structure. You will use this information,
combined with the formal elements of
drawing (such as line, value, mass, volume,
perspective, space and composition), to create
skillful anatomical investigations of the figure
through objective observation. A suggested
materials list is available at kcad.edu/
continuing-studies/class-outlines, but you
may bring your preferred drawing or sculpting
mediums and surfaces. It is recommended
that you have some previous experience in
drawing the figure.

current work focuses on drawing the figure,
where he questions psychology, identity and
interdependence. He increasingly has an
interest in sculpture, exploring similar themes.

do new products or services get added
while maintaining a strong brand?
