Drawing and Composition

3 units

This intermediate drawing course is designed to expand observational drawing into a useful practice for varied contexts. Creative professionals (e.g. artists, illustrators, designers, filmmakers) work within formal constraints to create arresting images and sequences. Students will gain clarity and confidence in figurative drawing and narrative problem-solving during sessions with models as well as in periodic fieldwork. Analog media experimentation will be encouraged. Students will be evaluated on the strength of their visual work, depth of investment, and participation in critique.
