I Draw Therefore I See: Observe, Visualize, and Imagine
Observation. Visualization. Imagination…these are the foundational principles of expressive images. In this course we will learn how to make drawings using graphite, conté, ink, markers, and collage to develop confidence and a solid understanding of line, value, and perspective. We will also draw the human figure to understand portraiture and anatomy to express our human condition. Conceptually starting in the caves of Altamira with a pit stop at Plato’s cave, spending some time in Obscure Chambers, and emerging enlightened and squinting in a 21st century where nearly every reality is virtual, our class will literally start blindfolded and finish with a short drawing animation. 3 hrs. lect./lab
