COURS - Pieds, placement au sol
En mars, on fait des pieds et des mains! Ces fameuses zones d'interface avec le monde sont faites pour s'y adapter, et prennent donc d'innombrables formes, qui les rendent notoirement difficiles Ă dessiner et Ă imaginer.
Sur cette troisiĂšme sĂ©ance, nous dessinerons les pieds Ă partir de la place qu'ils occupent au sol, ce qui nous aidera en mĂȘme temps Ă les construire, et Ă donner Ă notre modĂšle davantage de poids et de rĂ©alitĂ© dans l'espace.
On se retrouve Ă 19h30, mais qui veut peut arriver au local Ă partir de 19h pour grignoter, discuter!
Il y aura du thé et du café pour qui veut, il faut retirer ses chaussures car c'est une salle de danse (donc les bottes à lacets attendront une autre soirée).
Paiement en espĂšces (25âŹ), sur place, et il y aura un chapeau pour qui veut donner un peu plus au modĂšle! Le matĂ©riel n'est pas fourni.
HĂąte de vous y voir! đ
