Drawing II: Portrait

3 Credits · Level: Undergraduate

This drawing course is an exploration of the portrait through a multitude of mediums and stylistic approaches, consisting of both traditional materials and techniques as well as contemporary and modern approaches to portraiture. The course will include fundamental skill-building exercises, but also encourage students to take risks, experiment and find their own voice. This will be achieved through observational study of the live model as well as from photo, the collage and imagination. Instruction will consist of both live and pre recorded demonstrations, slide presentations, individual and group critiques.
