Interdisciplinary Arts 0160 - Drawing Foundation

Through drawing, students will develop their ability to perceive and construct visual images and forms across a wide range of media and subject matter. Projects will address the two-dimensional picture plane from an array of observed and imagined sources. A large variety of media will be used to explore the body, found and imagined objects, collage, abstraction, and structures in the natural and built environment. Slide presentations and group critiques will provide students with historical and conceptual contexts for the development of their own work. A field trip to an area art museum will introduce students to some of the resources for artists available within the Five Colleges. This course satisfies the ADM distribution requirement and engages students with independent project-based work. Drawing supplies and materials will cost approximately $90.00. Please note: This course will meet from 1-3:20 within the 1:00-4:00 course time block.
