Drawing I

Undergraduate catalogue cross-listing

The great thing about drawing is that you can do it anywhere! This course approaches drawing as a way of thinking and seeing. We'll learn from observation methods (still-life, plein-air, and figure drawing) while becoming adept at translating physical and lived experiences onto two-dimensional surfaces. Students will learn the basics of shading, proportion, composition, and gesture through various methods - privileging experimentation and curiosity. Lectures will be held to broaden an understanding of historical and contemporary drawing practices. By the end of the semester, you'll develop a final project of your choosing.
