Drawing II:ThemesExplorations

3 Credits · Level: Undergraduate

This course offers students an opportunity to explore the unique way that drawing as a discipline lets them investigate and interpret the world around them and further develop their ideas of visual language and expression. In this course, students will focus on three to four themes of personal interest to create a portfolio in which various drawing approaches and concepts are explored in depth. Possible themes could include portrait/ self-portrait; forms of the natural world (plants, roots, skulls); personal objects that convey character; landscape, architecture, or figures within a space; texture, surface, and space as an expressive tool, etc. The course will be highly individualized and adjusted to each student’s interests and goals. Its main emphasis will be for students to experiment with and push visual ideas and concepts in drawing. This course is designed to continue concepts, and skills learned in ARTS 110 - Drawing 1: Visual Language.
