Interdisciplinary Arts 0160 - Drawing Foundation

This course provides initial preparation for work in drawing and other areas of the visual arts. Students will develop their ability to perceive and construct visual images and forms across diverse subject matter. Projects address both the two-dimensional picture plane and three-dimensional space from a broad array of observed and imagined sources. Multiple media will be used to explore the body, found and imagined objects, collage, and structures in the natural and built environment. Visual presentations and group critiques will provide students with historical and conceptual contexts for the development their own work. This course satisfies Division I distribution requirements and prepares students to complete independent work.

Arts, Design, and Media Independent Work A minimum of five hours per week outside of class should be spent on the development of work in drawing.
