Prerequisites: ART 180 Introduction to Drawing or portfolio review
DESCRIPTION
This course is intended for students with some practical experience and competence in representational drawing. (For students who have not taken ART 180, a portfolio review and brief interview are needed for enrollment in the class.) In addition to further progress in the development of skills, this course aims to broaden and deepen the student's knowledge about drawing, including its history, techniques and current possibilities. Recognizing that not everyone wants to draw for the same reasons, instruction will be individualized as much as possible. For that reason, the syllabus (below) is only indicative and may be modified in individual cases.
In addition to ordinary graphite pencils, we will explore colored pencils, charcoal, pastels and ink (with both pens and brushes) and different surfaces (textured and colored papers, silk, mylar). We will learn about early manual forms of image reproduction (engraving, woodblock printing, lithography, etc.) as well as digital software-based techniques. The second half of the class will move beyond representation to explore fantasy and abstraction. Homework assignments will be flexible enough for students to explore their own interests.
