Interdisciplinary Arts 0284 - Special Projects in Drawing

This course will integrate intermediate level drawing assignments with two student defined half semester long independent projects. Articles, slide lectures and field trips to area art museums and drawing sites will inform work in the studio. Drawing as a visual practice will be defined broadly to allow for the exploration of forms and imagery across multiple genres, media and dimensions. Group critiques will aid in the development of a cohesive and ambitious body of independent work. Prerequisite: at least one drawing course at the college level. Additional coursework in art history and other visual art media is highly desirable.

Independent Work Students will need to supply their own materials which will cost approximately $100.00. In this course, students are expected to spend at least six hours a week of preparation and work outside of class time. This time includes studio work, reading and research.
