Course Description
This course will provide students with a sequential exploration of drawing methods and concepts. Students will learn, through in-class exercises and formal assignments, skills and concepts relating to contour, gesture, and full rendered drawings. They will work with an assortment of materials while understanding the depiction of three-dimensional objects on a two-dimensional plane, use of light and dark contrast,use of proportion, and perspective sighting. Assignments are designed to develop the students’ skills in direct observation and to encourage creative, expressive thinking. The creative process will be explored through hands-on studio projects, critiques, and discussions of historical, contemporary, and multicultural art. Trips to the Addison Gallery and other places of interest will complement the course. Students are expected to participate once a week in evening studios that will involve drawing from nude models. Prerequisite: Art 200 or Art 250.
