Humanities Arts Cultural Stu 0109 - Drawing Foundations

The purpose of this course is to understand and use drawing as a daily problem-solving practice throughout the semester. This course will start off with an emphasis on the elements of visual arts like composition, values, and form through (mainly) observational drawing and collaboration. Later it shifts to projects that serve to open ideas around the drawing process so that it can be used to explore and develop self-defined subject matter. Special attention will be paid to mark-making and some material exploration to move from observational drawing to working from imagination through collage, collaboration, writing and more. Regardless of your area of study, all students will be asked to find their own use and inspiration for drawing throughout the semester. Keywords: Drawing, Foundations, Studio Art, Color, Mark-Making
