Drawing: Idiosyncratic Systems

3 units

This studio course links the activity of drawing with conceptual inquiry. Projects will introduce an array of conceptual drawing methods including analog tracing, language systems, notational scores, recording and diagramming, and iterative systems of production that grow exponentially. Covering examples of technologies invented or operated in a drawn way - from the stylus to computers - the course will emphasize drawing as a tool for seeing and thinking. Course content will be delivered dynamically between ideation, production, lectures, group discussions, and topical readings. This course is open to students at all experience levels, including those with no experience in art and design.
