Interdisciplinary Arts 0247 - Drawing as a Foundation

Drawing is a foundation of artmaking. The medium functions as a preliminary practice to flush out and illustrate ideas in painting or sculpture, but can also stand-alone. We will practice drawing as both, building on skills in traditional materials and making work that intersects with other artmaking processes including performance, sculpture and conceptual practices. This course will introduce traditional techniques in drawing while presenting opportunities to experiment and explore the expansive language of drawing.

Independent Work In this course, students are expected to spend at least six to eight hours a week of preparation and work outside of class time. This time includes reading, writing, research.
