Series Summary

Art is decided upon by the critics. You can make a painting, draw a charcoal likeness, or arrange a urinal in a museum display as beautifully as possible, but unless your work makes someone think— unless your work reaches others and causes them to find pleasure gazing or reflecting upon it, then it is not art. So, it is in the audience that the painting becomes “art,” and the true artist is not offended by this. What were once religious cave paintings used to appease the gods are now art. What was once a medieval suit of armor used for protection and combat is now art. What was once a spiritual song used to bring peace of mind during captivity is now art. See, it is in the reception of a creation that “art” is born. Otherwise, it is mere stuff.

In this free video series, expert David A. Clemen teaches you how to draw the human face. Drawing the human form is as old as art itself, and capturing the subtle curves of the human body is the greatest artistic achievement. Take a look at this series and get the tools to become a master yourself!
