Art & the History of Art 283 - Drawing in Time

This course will focus on expanding the definition and activity of drawing to incorporate time-based methods. Students will home in on drawing as an exploratory practice through assignments and activities that shy away from static images and embrace more expansive temporal possibilities. Studio work will engage with various drawing methods, including drawing as performance, silhouettes and stop motion, analog and digital animation tools, automatic drawings, and time-sensitive media such as reactive dyes. The course will present fundamental concepts and historic examples that define drawing as a time-based form through individual and group assignments, critiques, thematic presentations, readings, and group discussions.
