This course is geared toward students who have some experience with drawing. In an exciting and supportive atmosphere we will build upon basic skills. Using models as our focus, with diversions into still life and landscape, technical and conceptual issues will be equally explored. Experimentation with a variety of techniques, as well as wet and dry materials will help students develop their artistic voices and approaches to drawing. Properties of scale, time, line, tone, composition and individual expression will be emphasized. Examples of historical and contemporary drawing will be shown. Discussion of student work will be an ongoing group activity.
Note: Please bring your favorite drawing materials, a drawing board, a kneaded eraser and paper (18x24") to the first session. This course may be taken for undergraduate credit. Please refer to FDD-1035-CE in the credit courses section of this website for details.
