fundamentals of drawing the human head
A 7-Session Workshop for Beginners
This beginner-friendly workshop introduces fundamental techniques through several structured and guided exercises. Participants will train their eyes and hands to perceive distances, proportions, and symmetry by drawing various objects and still-life compositions. Through these exercises, they will develop a keen sense of observation, improving their ability to capture shapes and forms with precision.
As the sessions progress, students will focus on drawing individual facial features—lips, eyes, nose, and ears—before assembling them into a complete head. Step by step, they will build their understanding of structure, perspective, and proportion, leading to more lifelike and expressive portraits. By the end of the course, participants will have a strong grasp of the fundamentals, setting a solid foundation for more advanced portrait drawing techniques.
This workshop is open to 12 years old and above.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR
Over the last twenty years, Filipino contemporary artist Jucar Raquepo has worked across different artistic disciplines such as painting, installation, assemblage, and video art. His paintings have been defined by pictorial experimentation, with imagery that references and even questions art, composition, art history, popular culture, politics, society, contemporary art, the spiritual, history, and time. Meanwhile inseparable from these artistic endeavors is Raquepo's role as a husband, a father, and a teacher.
Jucar Raquepo has conducted art workshops as part of his residency program participation in Incheon, South Korea, and in NorthBay, Ontario, Canada. He has participated in group exhibitions in Manila, Canada, Berlin, Hamburg, New York, Seoul, Incheon, and Hong Kong...and has mounted several solo shows locally in Manila.
