0364 - Foundations of Drawing

Course Description

Drawing is the cornerstone for all other visual arts disciplines. As a visual language, it becomes the means by which you can begin to explore your own objectives for personal expression. In this course, you'll get a comprehensive overview of the fundamentals of freehand drawing; representation of objects and natural forms; problems of analysis, response, perception and composition; and technical standards. This course is designed as the key building block for establishing a working knowledge of spatial organization and visual problem solving. All aspects of the course will be supported by dynamic classroom lectures, drawing demonstrations and visual aids (handouts, slides and books). Throughout the term, there will be in-class critiques and designated homework assignments, as well as some in-class exercises. You will draw using various artistic media. Note: You can expect to buy art supplies for this course. A supply list will accompany your registration statement.
