Euclid is a life drawing program - whilst advantageous to visual artists, it's primarily designed for individuals engaged in such diverse occupations as engineering, science, math, to medicine and business.  For the participants the workshop offers not only an opportunity to learn to draw the human figure but also a new way to see their world.

Euclid

While little is known about the life of the Greek mathematician Euclid, his axioms and postulates remain a major influence on geometry after two millennia.  Euclid gave no proof for his assumptions, believing they were so simple they needed no explanation.  He believed that if some geometric relationships were known, reason or logic could be used to figure out new relationships.

Why Euclid

It was his architectural background that led Ken Cosgrove to apply Euclid’s teachings to his study of the human figure.  Both as a student and teacher, he discovered that the challenges of drawing the human figure were simplified when Euclidean concepts were applied.  Euclid’s concepts may have been addressed to mathematicians, but Mr. Cosgrove believes he was also talking to the artist in all of us.
