(詳細はdrawing or painting of the human body made in preparation for a more composed or finished work;〔Berry, Ch. 8〕 or to learn drawing and painting techniques in general and the human figure in particular. By preference, figure studies are done from a live model, but may also include the use of other references〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Snapshot:Painters and Photography, Bonnard to Vuillard )〕 and the imagination of the artist. The live model may be clothed, or nude, but is usually nude for student work in order to learn human anatomy. A related term in sculpture is a maquette, a small scale model or rough draft of a proposed work. Drawings may also be preparatory for sculptural work. Preparatory studies may be compositional, representing the entire proposed work, or may only be of certain details, such as hands and feet. Studies may be sketches completed in a relatively short length of time, or very detailed depending upon the artist's preferred methods. Drawings may concentrate on shapes and form, while studies in painting media are about color and lighting. The term figure study is sometimes used in photography,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=In Focus: The Nude )〕 but does not seem to be clearly defined as different from nude photography in general, given the inherently finished nature of the medium. Photography students may do work that is for educational purposes, and an artist may take photographs with the intent of using them as references for paintings, but the terms ''figure study'' or ''nude study'' is usually not limited to these preparatory or educational photos. This usage may have begun in the 19th century, when some photographers called their nude images “studies for artists” merely to evade the censors.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Naked before the Camera )〕 ==Education== Beginning in the Renaissance drawing the figure from life has been considered the best way to learn how to draw, and the practice has been maintain into the present. Different drawing techniques and exercises have become standard, including gesture, contour, and mass drawings. For beginners first learning to draw, learning to correctly observe real objects is essential in order to learn three dimensional perspective and the effects of lighting. Live models are preferred but if not available, plaster casts of the figure may be used, never photographs.〔Nicolaides〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Figure study」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
