Introduction to Drawing: “Alien Eyes ”
Drawing is a fundamental and direct means of communication, documentation, and investigation. Students will be introduced to the process of drawing as if seeing the world for the first time. A variety of media will be used including pencil, charcoal, ink, and color conte/pastel on white, toned, and color papers. Projects will challenge students both technically and conceptually. We will work primarily from observation integrating personal expression and ideas about abstraction. The goal of this course is to establish a fluid connection between seeing, thinking, and mark-making. Each student will be required to contribute $75 towards the cost of materials. This course counts as an elective towards the major or minor in Studio Art.
