In this course we will take a deep dive into visual perception through the medium of drawing. Geared toward students who took 100-level studio courses remotely, this course will take the practice of observational drawing to the next level, emphasizing engagement in embodied time, space, and community. Using traditional and non-traditional materials and subject matter, we'll delve into the poetics and politics of perception and observation, exploring space, surface, structure, light, and more. This physically engaged course will center mindfulness and hands-on, materially-based methodologies. We will draw from nude models. Relevant historic and contemporary artists and texts will be discussed.

Prereq: ARTST-120 or ARTST-131.

For art studio majors only for the 1st week of pre-registration. Then open to all in the 2nd week. Students enrolled in this course will be responsible for some of the cost of course materials.

Permission is required for interchange registration during the add/drop period only.
